Verdict:	Malicious activity
Threats:	DragonForce is a ransomware strain operating under the Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model. First reported in December 2023, it encrypts files with ChaCha8, renames them with random strings, and appends “.dragonforce_encrypted.” By disabling backups, wiping recovery, and spreading across SMB shares, DragonForce maximizes damage and pressures victims into multimillion-dollar ransom negotiations. It has targeted manufacturing, construction, IT, healthcare, and retail sectors worldwide, making it a severe threat to modern enterprises. Ransomware is a type of malicious software that locks users out of their system or data using different methods to force them to pay a ransom. Most often, such programs encrypt files on an infected machine and demand a fee to be paid in exchange for the decryption key. Additionally, such programs can be used to steal sensitive information from the compromised computer and even conduct DDoS attacks against affected organizations to pressure them into paying.
