ThreatAI Analysis

Compiled from this incident record and the threat intelligence profile for Killsec. Figures and technique mappings are quoted from the source data, not inferred.

About the Killsec group

KillSec originated as a hacktivist group aligned with the Anonymous movement before pivoting to ransomware operations in October 2023, officially launching a RaaS platform in June 2024 with an affiliate-friendly 88% revenue split, primarily targeting healthcare, financial services, and government sectors with over 250 documented victims as of late 2025. Killsec has listed 284 victims since February 2024.

Incident Analysis

Enflame Technology was targeted by Killsec ransomware, one of the most active ransomware groups in our database with 285 confirmed victims globally. The attack was disclosed on April 17, 2025, when Enflame Technology appeared on the group's dark web leak site.

Enflame Technology is based in China , operating in the Technology sector. China ranks #26 globally for ransomware attacks, with 121 victims in our database.

Sector context: Technology companies hold intellectual property, customer data, and source code — all highly valuable assets. A successful ransomware attack can also put downstream customers at risk through supply chain exposure.

Killsec typically employs a double extortion model: first exfiltrating sensitive data from the victim's systems, then deploying ransomware to encrypt files. Victims face two simultaneous threats — paying to restore access and paying to prevent publication of stolen data. The group's leak site publishes victim names and exfiltrated data as leverage.

Data source: This incident record is sourced from public ransomware group leak site disclosures aggregated via the ransomware.live API. Disclosure date reflects when the victim was published on the leak site, which may differ from the initial date of compromise. This platform does not publish or link to stolen data.
