🚨 Uncovering the AI-Driven Offensive Infrastructure of INC and The Gentlemen Ransomware Affiliates | SOCRadar STRU IOC

SOCRadar Threat Research Unit (STRU) uncovered an AI-driven ransomware affiliate ecosystem, exposing seven adversary-controlled servers, the Phantom Autonomous Red Team Framework, and AI-managed attack operations. The actors exploited Fortinet, Ivanti, Citrix, SonicWall, SimpleHelp, and cPanel, leveraging Ghost C2, RevSocks, and customized INC Ransomware encryptors. With over $23,000 spent on AI services, the findings highlight the growing role of AI-powered automation in ransomware operations and the critical operational security failures that exposed them.
