ARES, is a new threat actor group identified by CYFIRMA Research. ARES is involved in selling corporate and government authority databases. CYFIRMA Research has observed cartel-like behaviour, affiliations with other threat actors, and connections with established hacking groups like RANSOMHOUSE ransomware group, KelvinSecurity, and Adrastea hacker group. ARES Leaks is potentially becoming an alternative to BreachedForum, intensifying its efforts to add more threat actors and leaks to its platform. The ARES group comprises expert penetration testers, malware developers, and other resources, offering not only data leaks but also Botnet and DDoS services. The OSINT search reveals that the group's admin is involved in selling Zero-day vulnerabilities, indicating that the group is leveraging such vulnerabilities to compromise systems. Overall, ARES Leaks' activities present a serious threat to organizations' cybersecurity.
