K****n

K****n was compromised in a ransomware attack attributed to payoutsking in November 2025. The organization, operating in an undisclosed sector in Germany, was added to the group's data leak site as part of an extortion campaign.

payoutsking operates as a financially motivated ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation, exfiltrating sensitive data and threatening public disclosure to pressure victims into paying ransom demands.
