Qilin ransomware, also known as "Agenda," represents a significant cyber threat that has been increasingly active since its emergence in 2022, particularly after the decline of RansomHub. Operating under a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, Qilin has been leveraging a double extortion strategy. This involves not only encrypting a victim's data but also stealing sensitive information and threatening to release it to intensify pressure on victims for ransom payments. Qilin's primary targets are sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, education, and critical infrastructure, with a focus on organizations that have high financial value, including public entities like state and local governments.
