The Iranian APT group Pioneer Kitten has been conducting malicious cyber operations aiming to deploy ransomware attacks, significantly impacting US organisations since 2017.
These operations aid malicious cyber actors in collaborating with affiliate actors to deploy ransomware, showcasing the evolving relationship between state-sponsored hackers and ransomware gangs.
FBI observations reveal that a significant portion of Pioneer Kitten's activities involve selling their access to victim organisations to Russian-speaking cybercrime gangs.
Recent findings indicate that Pioneer Kitten has been collaborating directly with ransomware affiliates, effectively receiving a percentage of ransom payments for their support.
