Unverified threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing
Attribution, victim identity, and counts shown here derive from ailock's public extortion-blog claims, aggregated by ransomware.live. They have not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat them as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.
According to ransomware.live, the group claims:
AiLock is a ransomware operation that emerged in early 2025, marketing itself as AI-assisted ransomware using a hybrid ChaCha20/NTRUEncrypt encryption scheme and double-extortion tactics, actively recruiting affiliates and threatening regulatory reporting if ransoms are unpaid.
