About Cryp70N1C0D3

Cryp70N1C0D3 is a relatively obscure ransomware group that emerged in December 2021, primarily motivated by financial gain through ransomware operations. The group's origin and affiliations remain largely undocumented in public threat intelligence reporting, though their targeting patterns suggest potential familiarity with victims in India, the United States, and Turkey. Based on available data, Cryp70N1C0D3 has maintained a limited operational scope with only 11 documented victims across their known period of activity, indicating either a small-scale operation or highly selective targeting approach. The group's attack methodology, encryption techniques, and specific tactics, techniques, and procedures have not been extensively documented by major cybersecurity firms or government agencies, likely due to their relatively low profile compared to more prominent ransomware families. No significant high-profile attacks, major corporate victims, or substantial law enforcement actions have been publicly reported in connection with this group. Current intelligence suggests limited ongoing activity, though the group's present operational status remains unclear due to insufficient public reporting and analysis from established threat intelligence sources. The group has been linked to 11 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on December 18, 2021; most recent post June 16, 2025. The operation is currently inactive.
