What the group claims

We have successfully stolen over50 GBof data from Car Care Plan, including financial records with sensitive information, legal documents and statements, customer records, along with internal documents and records. All the data has been encrypted, and without our decryption key, it is almost impossible to decrypt.To ensure the return of this data, we are demanding a ransom of0.5 BTC. The deadline for this payment is fast approaching. Once the payment is received, the decryption key will be provided, and the data will be returned without delay. It is up to Car Care Plan to act accordingly.

Disclosure context

About Hellcat

Hellcat is a recently emerged ransomware group first observed in October 2024, operating with apparent financial motivations based on their targeting patterns across multiple high-value sectors. The group's origin and potential state affiliations remain unclear due to their recent emergence, though their broad geographic targeting spanning the United States, China, Germany, France, and Israel suggests either a sophisticated international operation or the use of ransomware-as-a-service infrastructure. Limited public documentation exists regarding Hellcat's specific attack methodologies, encryption techniques, or whether they employ double extortion tactics involving data exfiltration prior to encryption, as major cybersecurity firms and government agencies have yet to publish detailed technical analyses of their operations. With only 20 documented victims to date, the group has not yet conducted any widely publicized major campaigns or drawn significant law enforcement attention, though their targeting of technology, education, government, and business services sectors indicates a focus on organizations likely to possess valuable data and have strong incentives to pay ransoms. Hellcat remains active as of current reporting, though their limited operational footprint and recent emergence make long-term assessment of their capabilities and persistence difficult to determine. The group has been linked to 20 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on October 25, 2024; most recent post April 10, 2025. The operation is currently inactive.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by Hellcat means Car Care Plan - Turkey appeared on a ransomware extortion site and data attributed to it has been published. If this is your organisation, or a supplier you depend on, the priority is to confirm the intrusion and contain it before the window to act closes.

  • Engage your incident-response team and preserve forensic evidence before remediating — do not wipe affected systems first.
  • Force a password reset and revoke active sessions for exposed accounts; rotate any credentials, API keys or certificates that may have been in the stolen data.
  • Assess regulatory notification duties (GDPR, NIS2, sector regulators) — many carry a 72-hour reporting clock from awareness.
  • Monitor for the data appearing on Hellcat's leak site and across paste and breach channels, and brief downstream partners who may be exposed through you.
