robbinhood

RobinHood is a ransomware group that emerged in April 2019, primarily motivated by financial gain through targeted attacks against government and municipal organizations. The group's origin remains unclear, though they appear to operate independently rather than as a ransomware-as-a-service model, with no confirmed state sponsorship or clear geographical attribution. RobinHood's attack methodology involves deploying ransomware that encrypts victim files and demands payment for decryption keys, though specific details about their initial access vectors and technical tools are limited in publicly available documentation. The group gained attention for targeting government facilities, with their attacks causing significant disruption to municipal services, though the small number of documented victims suggests either selective targeting or limited operational scope. Current intelligence indicates minimal recent activity from this group, suggesting they may have ceased operations, rebranded, or been absorbed into other ransomware operations, though definitive confirmation of their current status is not available in public threat intelligence reporting.
