Open-Source Reporting Supplement (beyond the API; today's WebSearch)
- The Gentlemen (RaaS)— by publicly claimed victim count the group has risen to second most active(182 distinct victims), and is building a full EDR-killer toolset around the GentleKillerframework. Worth continued cross-source tracking.
- Qilin → KUNERT Fashion— a textile/fashion sector victim reported on 6/30, attributed to Qilin.
Anomalies / Trend Notes
- RansomLook API stalled for 3 consecutive days(06-28 → 07-01 return the same payload) — apparently a feed/collection-side issue. Today's ransomware picture should be based on open-source reporting (The Gentlemen, Qilin); do not misread "no new posts" as a decline in activity.
- Industrialized EDR killers: The Gentlemen's GentleKiller continues the 2025-2026 RaaS trend of shipping driver-level defence evasion tooling. Verify EDR tamper-protection configuration.
- Dormant/surging groups: this snapshot carries no reliable "sudden surge" signal, owing to the stalled data.
