Knight

Also known asknight

Knight is a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation referenced in the provided content as an active ransomware brand present by at least 2023. It is listed as “Knight 3.0” on the RAMP cybercrime forum in May 2023 with a 90/10 affiliate/operator split, indicating an affiliate-based business model. Dragos observed Knight for the first time in Q4 2023, where it accounted for 1.9% of incidents in the cited reporting. Knight is also mentioned in infrastructure and malware-overlap analysis involving 8Base: malware hashes tied to 8Base infrastructure were also observed on onion sites associated with ALPHV, BianLian, Knight, and Play, and extracted malware strings explicitly referenced onion URLs and communication channels associated with those brands, including Knight. This supports the conclusion in the source material that Knight participated in a shared-backend ransomware ecosystem rather than being fully isolated from other ransomware brands. The content also states that RansomHub has significant code overlaps with the former Knight ransomware group, further linking Knight to later ransomware development lineage. No additional aliases or sub-groups beyond “Knight” are directly provided in the content.
