Ransomware group
crypto24
Also known as: Public Data Storage
Crypto24 emerged in early 2025 as a fast-growing double-extortion ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) group. It targets organizations across industries such as financial services, healthcare, logistics, and technology, with notable victims in Malaysia, Colombia, Egypt, and India. The group executes rapid infiltration—often leveraging stolen credentials—encrypts files (appending the .crypto24 extension), and exfiltrates significant volumes of data (e.g., 2 TB from Vietnam’s CMC Group). Affiliate-oriented operations are indicated by their presence on RAMP forums, suggesting professional recruitment and offering free decryption for small file samples to entice victims.
