Description

Funksec, a double extortion ransomware group, emerged in late 2024 and quickly gained notoriety by breaching databases and selling access to 15 government websites within just a month. Claiming to be entirely self-taught and operating without collaboration from other groups, Funksec is a four-member team driven primarily by financial motives.

The group leverages AI for specific tasks, such as creating tools and phishing templates, though they emphasize that AI contributes to only about 20% of their operations. Notably, they have developed their own proprietary AI tool, WormGPT, a desktop application built entirely in-house.

To enhance their phishing campaigns, Funksec uses premium services like PhishingBox to create customized phishing templates, adding another layer of precision and sophistication to their methods.

After the interview, during some casual chit-chat, it came to light that the owner of Funksec was also behind an underground forum called DarkZone, which had been built in collaboration with GhostSec in the past.
