Hakerskii Kit is a hacktivist threat actor identified in public reporting as part of a cluster of interconnected campaigns linked with medium confidence to 4BID and associated groups including C.A.S. and Goffee. Public sources cited Hakerskii Kit claiming a successful attack on a Russian factory, where ClearWater ransomware was also detected. Reporting states that Hakerskii Kit, alongside 4BID and C.A.S., has targeted organizations across Kazakhstan, the UAE, Egypt, and Syria, reflecting activity beyond the groups’ usual Russia- and Belarus-focused targeting. Across the broader campaign cluster, attackers most often gained initial access by exploiting ProxyShell in vulnerable Microsoft Exchange servers, then deployed the fd.aspx ASP.NET web shell for remote command execution, file transfer, and reconnaissance. Observed post-compromise tooling in these campaigns included legitimate remote administration tools such as AnyDesk, Dev Tunnels, Panorama9, Nezha Monitoring, and Tactical RMM; post-exploitation frameworks including Sliver, Havoc, Mythic Apollo, AdaptixC2, and the BlackSalt backdoor; and EDR-killing tools including modified Rust-based EDRKiller samples and GhostDriver. The same reporting also tied the activity to ClearWater ransomware and an updated Blackout Locker variant, and assessed that these hacktivist groups are broadening their geographic scope and increasingly using ransomware and tooling consistent with financially motivated operations.
