Profile · grok-4.7 · updated Summaries by Vani AI
Akira is a ransomware and data-extortion group first observed in March 2023 that uses double extortion against organizations mainly in North America, Europe, and Australia. Operators typically enter through compromised VPN credentials, especially on Cisco and SonicWall devices without MFA, and through known edge-device flaws, then steal data and deploy Windows and Linux/VMware ESXi encryptors. A 2024 FBI/CISA advisory tied the activity to roughly $42 million in payments by the start of 2024 and to Conti-lineage tradecraft among suspected Russian-speaking actors. The group remains active: leak-site tracking for this dashboard recorded posts through 9 October 2026 (5 victims in 7 days, 35 in 30 days, and 92 in 90 days). Recent public reporting continues to associate Akira with SonicWall exploitation and with attacks on manufacturers and other mid-market organizations.
Tactics & tooling
- Initial access via stolen or brute-forced VPN credentials, often where MFA is absent (Cisco ASA/FTD, SonicWall)
- Exploitation of public-facing edge-device flaws, notably CVE-2023-20269 and CVE-2024-40766
- Double extortion: data theft, encryption, and pressure via a leak site
- Windows encryptor plus a Linux/VMware ESXi encryptor, including the Rust-based Megazord variant
- Exfiltration with Rclone, WinSCP, FileZilla, and similar transfer tools
- Remote access and tunneling with AnyDesk, RustDesk, Ngrok, and Cloudflare Tunnel
- Credential theft and lateral movement using living-off-the-land binaries and common post-exploitation tools
