A new write-up from Graham Cluley on the Fortra blog highlights Krybit, a ransomware gang that is both expanding its operations and dealing with unusual internal turmoil. According to the source, Krybit was hacked by a rival ransomware group, then hit back, and yet has continued to extort victims. This makes it a notable example of how adversarial relationships between cybercriminal gangs can play out in the open.
The report does not go into technical details in the available summary, but it emphasizes that Krybit is still a live threat. The gang's ability to absorb an attack from a competitor while maintaining its own extortion activity suggests a certain level of resilience, though the source does not specify how much damage the rival's intrusion caused.
For organizations seeking guidance, the article is positioned as an overview of how Krybit operates, who it has targeted, and what defensive measures may help. Since this article is based on a single source, there are no differing accounts to compare; the summary presents Krybit as a persistent and combative player in the ransomware landscape, one that should not be overlooked despite its own security problems.
