Everest is a long-running extortion operation active since around 2020 that combines data-theft ransomware with initial-access brokering, and saw a resurgence targeting critical infrastructure in 2025.
Everest emerged around 2020 and operates a hybrid model, combining double-extortion ransomware with the sale of network access as an initial-access broker. It runs a darknet leak site and has listed 250+ victims since 2023 across many sectors. In April 2025 the group's leak site was hacked and defaced and went briefly offline, after which Everest resumed operations from new infrastructure.
The July-October 2025 window was reported as among Everest's most active periods, with claims against critical infrastructure including electricity transmission, aviation and telecommunications. Late in 2025 Everest publicized high-profile claims including Under Armour, Petrobras, and (in December 2025) ASUS, alleging over 1 TB of stolen data.
Everest has claimed victims in the UAE and elsewhere in the Gulf among its listings. These are extortion allegations and should be treated as claims, not confirmed breaches, unless independently verified.
