Prince ransomware is a ransomware family that surfaced in mid-2024. The provided reporting identifies CrazyHunter as a fork of Prince, indicating Prince as the upstream ransomware builder/family from which CrazyHunter inherited core functionality. Based on the content, Prince is associated with a partial-encryption design later seen in CrazyHunter, specifically a 1:2 pattern that encrypts one byte and skips the next two, and serves as the basis for a Windows-targeting ransomware lineage. No direct victimology, threat actor attribution, infection vector, or standalone indicators of compromise are provided in the content for Prince itself beyond its role as the precursor/foundation for CrazyHunter.
