Quantum was a Russian-speaking ransomware and extortion operation active primarily in 2022. It is assessed to have emerged from the post-Conti ecosystem and was associated with former Conti members. Quantum subsequently rebranded as Royal, which later became BlackSuit in 2024. The operation conducted data-encryption attacks, exfiltrated victim data, and used a leak site to pressure victims, constituting double extortion. Quantum compromised Medlab Pathology in Australia in 2022, encrypting systems and publishing stolen personal, health, and financial data. It also targeted the Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Agriculture. Affiliates associated with Quantum and Hive used callback phishing and phone-based social engineering against manufacturing and legal-sector organizations in the United States and Canada. Observed delivery activity included phishing lures and malicious disk-image attachments intended to facilitate payload execution and evade security controls. Quantum infrastructure and Cobalt Strike activity also showed reported overlap with the Play ransomware operation.
