Dark Angels is a highly selective ransomware group targeting large enterprises with massive data exfiltration since 2022.
Analyst brief
Dark Angels is a highly selective ransomware group active since April 2022, targeting a small number of large enterprises including Fortune 50 companies. Their primary TTPs involve massive data exfiltration up to 100 TB per victim and ransom demands, securing a record $75 million payment in 2024. Defenders should prioritize robust data loss prevention (DLP) controls and strict network segmentation to detect and limit large-scale data egress.
