Hazel Mercantile

Hazel Mercantile was compromised in a ransomware attack attributed to kairos in November 2025. The organization, operating in an undisclosed sector in India, was added to the group's data leak site as part of an extortion campaign.

kairos 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.
