Nitro is a ransomware group known for targeting various industries globally, first emerging as early as April 2011 with initial activities focused on industrial espionage against chemical companies. This group, assessed with high confidence to be of Chinese origin, later evolved into a financially motivated ransomware operation, characterized by its rapidly evolving tactics and the employment of double extortion where sensitive data is exfiltrated before encryption and threatened for public release. While initially associated with the 'Nitro Attacks' using tools like Poison Ivy, the group later shifted to ransomware, distinguishing itself by adapting its methodologies over time.
