Trinity is a ransomware group targeting the healthcare sector with double-extortion tactics.
Analyst brief
Trinity ransomware emerged in May 2024, likely a rebrand of the Venus/2023Lock variants, employing ChaCha20 encryption and double-extortion via a Tor leak site. The US HHS has flagged it as a specific threat to the healthcare sector following confirmed attacks. Operators focus on healthcare organizations and leverage ransomware-as-a-service TTPs with data exfiltration before encryption. Defenders should prioritize offline backups for patient-critical systems and monitor for signs of lateral movement and unauthorized data egress leading to double-extortion.
