Hunters is a financially motivated ransomware operation active during 2024. It ranked among the most prolific ransomware groups by leak-site activity and was among the most active actors targeting the food and agriculture sector in the second quarter of 2024. Estimated ransomware proceeds attributed to Hunters during 2024 were approximately $15 million. Hunters was also identified among active ransomware operators targeting organizations in Europe. World Leaks reportedly emerged in January 2025 as a splinter from the Hunters operation after Hunters assessed conventional ransomware activity as too risky and unprofitable.
