Key Findings

• On July 31, 2025, an account associated with DragonForce, a ransomware and digital extortion (R&DE) collective, posted on the Russian-speaking dark web forum Russian Anonymous Marketplace (RAMP), announcing various new features for existing services, including updates for its crypto locker.
• In the post on RAMP, the account associated with DragonForce states that the lockers—which refer to the payload that encrypts target files—are now transitioning to a stable version from the previous beta version.
• ZeroFox observed a significant uptick in DragonForce activity, beginning in early April 2025—leading to the collective’s most prominent month, in which the group conducted at least 25 separate attacks.
• This latest announcement by DragonForce likely indicates that the collective seeks to remain a prominent threat actor in the R&DE space and attract new affiliates.
