LockData Auction is a dark web marketplace that emerged around May 2021 operating an invite-only stolen data auction portal, representing a shift toward pure data-theft extortion with auctions for stolen corporate data starting from $50,000, rather than a traditional ransomware encryptor operation.

Crynox (sometimes referred to as “Crynox Ransomware”) appears to be a generic file-locker threat that appends .crynox to encrypted files and drops a ransom note (read_it.txt) instructing victims to contact crynoxWARE@proton.me. It seems to use RSA-4096 and AES for encryption and may change desktop wallpaper, but there's no evidence of double-extortion or leak site operation. Distribution methods cited include phishing, pirated software, and malicious websites.

HellCat is a ransomware-as-a-service group that formed in Q4 2024 and quickly became notable for high-profile attacks against Schneider Electric, Telefónica, and Israel's Knesset, primarily gaining initial access via stolen Jira credentials harvested by infostealer malware, targeting critical infrastructure and government entities.

Orion is a ransomware operation first observed in October 2025 that listed 13 alleged victims on a dark web leak site across financial services, manufacturing, and healthcare, though analysts determined its victim list was recycled from prior LockBit and BlackCat disclosures rather than fresh compromises.

PwndLocker is a ransomware that was observed in late 2019 and is reported to have been used to target businesses and local governments/cities. According to one source, ransom amounts demanded as part of PwndLocker activity range from $175k USD to $650k USD depending on the size of the network. PwndLocker attempts to disable a variety of Windows services so that their data can be encrypted. Various processes will also be targeted, such as web browsers and software related to security, backups, and databases. Shadow copies are cleared by the ransomware, and encryption of files occurs once the system has been prepared in this way. Executable files and those that are likely to be important for the system to continue to function appear to be skipped by the ransomware, and a large number of folders mostly related to Microsoft Windows system files are also ignored. As of March 2020, encrypted files have been observed with the added extensions of .key and .pwnd. Ransom notes are dropped in folders where encrypted files are found and also on the user's desktop.
