Description

The Gentlemen is a financially motivated ransomware-as-a-service group that emerged in early 2023 and gained significant prominence by 2025. They utilize a double-extortion model, encrypting data while threatening to leak sensitive information, often accelerating pressure tactics without extensive negotiations.

Key insights

  • Targets primarily sectors like healthcare, technology, and construction, avoiding Commonwealth of Independent States entities.
  • Initial access often gained through exploitation of CVE-2024-55591 in FortiOS and FortiProxy devices.
  • Employs advanced tactics including BYOVD attacks for evasion and a pre-ransomware script to disable security measures.
  • Maintains a database of compromised credentials to enhance targeting and operational effectiveness.
  • Demonstrates a preference for rapid data publication to maximize pressure on victims.
