DoubleFace, also referred to as Doubleface Team, Double Alliance, and in some reporting as Invisible or Doubleface ransomware, is a hacktivist-linked ransomware actor that emerged in August-September 2024. The group is associated with a fluid ecosystem of pro-Russia-aligned actors and appears to have formed through a convergence of associates connected to CyberVolk and the Moroccan Black Cyber Army. DoubleFace has also been promoted by CyberVolk and linked to collaborative relationships with other ransomware operators, including an announced alliance with HexaLocker for larger attacks. DoubleFace is notable for operating ransomware closely related to the CyberVolk and AzzaSec code lineage. Its ransomware has been assessed as functioning nearly identically to CyberVolk ransomware and as derived from leaked AzzaSec ransomware source code. Reported implementations use AES-256 for file encryption with RSA-2048 key wrapping, deploy a ransom note, and maintain a built-in decryption countdown timer. The actor therefore demonstrates ransomware tradecraft centered on encryption-based extortion rather than novel malware engineering. Beyond ransomware, DoubleFace has been observed in the broader hacktivist threat landscape targeting Ukraine, where it has been counted among smaller but active groups contributing to disruptive operations. In that context, the actor has been associated with campaigns affecting government and other critical sectors. The surrounding ecosystem emphasizes politically framed attacks, opportunistic alliances, and reuse of commodity or leaked tooling rather than stable long-term organizational structure. DoubleFace should be understood as part of a fragmented, rapidly shifting cluster of hacktivist and ransomware actors whose branding, partnerships, and tooling overlap substantially. High-confidence aliases include Doubleface Team, Double Alliance, and Invisible/Doubleface ransomware.
