The Iranian-backed ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) Pay2Key has resurfaced following the conflict between Israel, Iran, and the United States last month. Now operating under the name Pay2Key.I2P, this financially motivated scheme offers higher payments to cybercriminals who launch attacks against Israel and the United States. The hacker group Fox Kitten, also known as Lemon Sandstorm, is linked to this operation.
