Hunters Ransomware Hits Double Eagle Energy

January 26, 2024
Reading Time: 2 mins read
in Incidents

The Hunters ransomware group recently claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Double Eagle Energy Holdings IV, LLC, a significant US-based oil and natural gas development and production company. The attack, which occurred on January 23, 2024, resulted in the compromise of sensitive data, including internal documents, corporate structures, bank account information, accounting records, passports, and scanned tax returns, totaling 768.2 GB. While the group has not disclosed intentions to release the data, the targeted organization, Double Eagle Energy Holdings IV LLC, faces operational disruption as its official website is currently inaccessible, displaying an SSL error.

Hunters International, identified as a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) brand, gained attention in Q3 of 2023 due to similarities in source code with the notorious Hive ransomware strain. The group’s modus operandi involves encrypting files, appending the “.LOCKED” extension, and leaving “Contact Us.txt” files with instructions for victims to negotiate on the dark web. Despite an initial analysis suggesting ties to the Hive cartel, Hunters International denies any affiliation with the Hive operation. The incident underscores the urgency for robust cybersecurity measures and swift response strategies to mitigate potential damages from ransomware attacks.

The cyberthreat landscape continues to evolve, with ransomware groups adopting increasingly sophisticated tactics. The Double Eagle Energy Holdings IV LLC incident highlights the broader risks faced by critical sectors, emphasizing the need for proactive cybersecurity defenses and resilient response plans. Organizations must remain vigilant, implementing measures to protect sensitive data and fortify their cybersecurity postures against the ever-growing threat of ransomware, as demonstrated by the actions of the Hunters ransomware group.
