Inc Ransom is a ransomware and data-extortion group first observed in July 2023, known for double extortion using a Tor-hosted leak site. Vendor research links its initial access to exploitation of internet-facing Citrix NetScaler appliances (CVE-2023-3519, CVE-2023-4966). It drew broad attention in March 2024 for the NHS Dumfries and Galloway breach in Scotland and in 2024 for a claimed theft of data from Citrix. Researchers have documented Windows and Linux/ESXi encryptor variants for the group's tooling. Its organizational structure (single crew versus affiliates) and aggregate earnings are not publicly established, and it remains active with intermittent victim postings.

Tactics & tooling
  • Initial access via exploitation of unpatched internet-facing Citrix NetScaler ADC/GateWay appliances (CVE-2023-3519; CVE-2023-4966), per vendor reporting
  • Data exfiltration before encryption, followed by double extortion on a Tor leak site
  • Separate encryptor builds for Windows and for Linux/ESXi environments documented by researchers
  • Ransom notes dropped on compromised systems; negotiation via leak-site chat, email, or Tox
  • Targets organizations holding sensitive records; healthcare and public-sector victims emphasized in public coverage
  • Emphasis on large data volumes in extortion messaging, including claimed terabyte-scale thefts in 2024 reporting
  • Organizational model unclear; affiliate involvement not confirmed, so per-incident attribution should be treated cautiously
