VERY IMPORTANT

A new ransomware group, self-proclaimed as 'APT73', has emerged as a spin-off from LockBit. Their data leak site, named 'ERALEIGNEWS', bears resemblance to LockBit's site. The group's first victim, a US-based customer service platform called 'TRIFECTA', had sensitive data leaked and hosted on the dark web. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the group's infrastructure, modus operandi, and potential connections to Finland and Romania based on their follower activity on Twitter.
