In the recently published “Threat Spotlight: Ransomware and Cyber Extortion in Q3 2025” by ReliaQuest, one particular section drew significant attention: the claim of an alleged “alliance” between three ransomware groups — LockBit, DragonForce, and Qilin.
According to the report, these groups had allegedly formed a cooperative relationship, sharing software, resources, and affiliates in a coalition meant to enhance their operational reach and efficiency.
