Details about one of the world’s most dangerous ransomware cartels taking down companies in South Africa

• DragonForce, one of the world's most dangerous ransomware cartels, has taken down companies in South Africa, including Rectron, a technology distributor.
• The group, known for its corporate structure and highly specialised members, uses multi-stage pipeline attacks and relies on a black-market ecosystem to buy and sell nefarious platforms and tools.
• The recent Rectron attack led to a week-long shutdown of operations, but the company has since regained control of its systems and resumed business, with the incident being deeply regrettable and apologised for by the company.
