Kazu is a financially motivated ransomware group that emerged in early to mid-2025, operating a double extortion model by exfiltrating sensitive data prior to encrypting files and demanding payment. The group primarily targets government agencies, public-sector institutions, healthcare providers, and financial services organizations globally, with a notable focus on Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Kazu distinguishes itself by consistently leveraging dark web leak sites and social media channels to announce victims and pressure them into paying ransoms, frequently posting proof of stolen data from compromised entities.
