Dunghill is a highly selective ransomware group targeting large enterprises and operating the Dunghill Leak extortion site.
Analyst brief
Dunghill, also known as Dark Angels, is a highly selective ransomware group operating a data extortion site called Dunghill Leak. They target large enterprises in healthcare, finance, industrial, and technology sectors, using a non-affiliate model. Their TTPs focus on targeted intrusions and data exfiltration for double extortion, rather than widespread phishing campaigns, leading to a record $75 million ransom payment in 2024. Defenders should prioritize data exfiltration monitoring, enforce zero trust architecture to limit lateral movement, and review incident response plans for high-impact ransomware scenarios.
