AI Summary

Gunra ransomware, first observed in 2025, expanded into a ransomware‑as‑a‑service model in 2026, targeting government entities, critical infrastructure and other organizations. Its affiliates employ a double‑extortion technique, encrypting victims’ data while threatening to release stolen information on a dedicated leak site unless a ransom is paid. The advisory urges at‑risk organizations to patch known vulnerabilities in internet‑facing systems such as VPN gateways and RDP‑exposed infrastructure, deploy offline immutable backups stored separately, and segment networks to limit lateral movement from compromised devices.
