DragonForce is a ransomware-as-a-service operation whose affiliates deploy configurable, sample-specific payloads rather than one universal encryptor binary. Group-IB documented Windows builds derived from LockBit 3.0 and ContiV3; separate reporting describes Linux and ESXi variants. Payload behavior and indicators vary by build and affiliate configuration. Observed effects include file encryption and ransom-note creation; analyzed Windows builds may also delete Volume Shadow Copies.
