Iranian-backed hacking group Fox Kitten has been linked to the Pay2Key ransomware operation that has recently started targeting organizations from Israel and Brazil.

"We estimate with medium to high confidence that Pay2Key is a new operation conducted by Fox Kitten, an Iranian APT group that began a new wave of attacks in November-December 2020 that entailed dozens of Israeli companies," threat intelligence firm ClearSky says.
