nefilim_ransomware_group

Also known asNefilim Ransomware Group

Nefilim is a ransomware group associated in the provided content with Ukrainian nationals Artem Aleksandrovych Stryzhak and alleged administrator Volodymyr Tymoshchuk. The group conducted ransomware attacks against organizations in the U.S. and Europe from at least 2018 to 2021, with reporting in the content also stating it primarily targeted companies in the U.S., Canada, and Australia with more than $100 million in annual revenue. Victim sectors explicitly mentioned include engineering, aviation, chemicals, insurance, construction, pet care, eyewear, and oil and gas transportation, and victims in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland are also noted. The group customized ransomware files and ransom notes for each victim, created unique decryption keys, researched companies’ net worth, size, and contact information after network breaches, and extorted victims by threatening to publish stolen data. The attacks caused millions of dollars in losses. The content states that Stryzhak gained access to the Nefilim ransomware code in June 2021 in exchange for 20% of ransom proceeds. Volodymyr Tymoshchuk is described as an administrator of the Nefilim ransomware group and as also being charged in connection with administering LockerGoga and MegaCortex ransomware operations. No additional aliases for the Nefilim group itself are provided in the content.
