Bl00dy, also known as Bl00dy Ransomware Gang, is a ransomware-as-a-service operation that emerged in 2022 and is widely described as a spin-off or offshoot of the Russian-speaking Conti ecosystem. The group has been associated with use of leaked or reused ransomware builders, including tooling derived from LockBit, Babuk, and Conti, rather than exclusively bespoke malware development. Bl00dy has also been advertised on Russian-language cybercrime forums as a RaaS program. Bl00dy is known for financially motivated extortion operations involving both file encryption and theft of victim data. Reported victimology shows a particular focus on organizations in the United States, especially in the education and healthcare sectors. U.S. government reporting tied the group to exploitation of PaperCut MF/NG vulnerability CVE-2023-27350 for initial access, particularly against internet-exposed servers in the Education Facilities Subsector in early May 2023. Those intrusions were reported to include deployment of webshells for persistence, elevated command execution through the compromised application, data exfiltration, and subsequent encryption of victim systems. The group has also been observed exploiting ScreenConnect vulnerabilities and abusing remote management or remote access tooling during intrusions. Reporting on PaperCut exploitation linked the activity to follow-on use of commodity and post-exploitation tooling, indicating a workflow that extends beyond initial compromise into persistence, remote control, and broader post-compromise operations. Bl00dy has maintained public extortion and victim-shaming activity through leak-site and messaging-channel operations, including continued use of Telegram despite briefly announcing a departure from the platform in September 2024. Known aliases include Bl00dy and Bl00dy Ransomware Gang.
