Deathgrip ransomware group
Deathgrip is one of the extortion operations we watch continuously. This page covers what is known about the group and the current state of its leak site.
Who they are
DeathGrip is a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) that emerged around June 2024, offering malware payloads built with leaked LockBit 3.0 and Yashma/Chaos builders. Designed to lower technical barriers, it enables even low-skilled operators to deploy highly capable ransomware attacks. DeathGrip campaigns typically employ AES-256 encryption, delete shadow copies and recovery features, and modify system settings to hinder restoration. Earlier infections include low-tier ransom demands (e.g., around $100), reflecting entry-level targeting, though its flexible tooling allows a range of payload configurations.
Current status
Deathgrip's leak site is not answering. Sites go dark for infrastructure trouble, a deliberate quiet period, or a takedown, and a good number return weeks later under the same name, so the entry stays on the list either way.
Which organisations this group has named, and when, is part of the SINON platform rather than this page. Create an account to search it, or to be told automatically if a name you care about turns up.
Sectors targeted
This group does not state an industry on its site, so we have nothing reliable to report. Most crews are opportunistic rather than sector-specific in any case — they hit what they can reach.
Watching for your name
If Deathgrip posts your company, a supplier or a subsidiary, you want to hear it from us rather than from a journalist. SINON checks these sites continuously and alerts on the names you give it.
