Trend Micro Researchers Uncover New Ransomware Strain
September 10, 2025 By Akshaya Asokan
A newly identified ransomware group is targeting victims across the Asia Pacific region using custom-built evasion capabilities that could pose a "significant threat" to organizations, warn researchers at security firm Trend Micro.
Trend Micro first spotted in August a ransomware campaign orchestrated by The Gentlemen, "an emerging and previously undocumented threat group."
Unlike groups that rely on generic anti-virus evasion techniques, The Gentlemen deploys customized methods tailored to each target. "By adapting their tools mid-campaign, the attackers demonstrate versatility and determination, posing a significant threat to organizations regardless of their security defenses," Trend Micro said.
