From Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) gangs to global financial crime syndicates, the rise of sophisticated cyber threats is reshaping the world. These aren’t lone hackers — they’re organized groups running multi-million dollar operations in the shadows.


In the Masked Actors podcast, cyber threat expert and former soldier turned hacker Gary Ruddell joins forces with Nick Palmer, a seasoned financial crime fighter, to investigate the top 10 most dangerous cybercriminal groups of 2025 — drawn from Group-IB’s High-Tech Crime Trends Report.


Each episode explores the tactics, motivations, and impact of major cybercrime groups, uncovering their role in the latest cybercrime, RaaS, and financial crime trends. You’ll learn how these actors exploit vulnerabilities, fuel geopolitical tension, and affect businesses and consumers alike.

    The public often sees cybercrime through the lens of attacks, arrests and headlines. Far less visible are the online communities that sit behind them.

    For many people, cybercrime isn’t just about the money. These communities offer status, identity and belonging, making it difficult for people to walk away once they’re inside.

    In this episode, host Gary Ruddell and former INTERPOL Director of Cybercrime Craig Jones sit down with Marcus Hutchins. Best known for helping stop WannaCry, Marcus shares a side of his story that is rarely told: a firsthand account of the online communities that draw people into cybercrime, the social forces that keep them there, and the challenges of finding a way out. Together, they pull back the curtain on the hacking underground and explore how one of its former members found a path to the front lines of cyber defense.

    By understanding who these actors are and how they operate, you can better anticipate threats and protect yourself in an increasingly hostile digital world.

    ShinyHunters has left an alleged trail stretching from university campuses, and major healthcare providers, to government agencies. It even turned on its peers, extorting and publicly humiliating Cl0P ransomware group in a turf war that offered a rare glimpse of the power struggles that underpin the criminal underworld.

    In this debut episode of Masked Actors: The Wire, where we take the cyber stories breaking right now and look past the headlines to the threat actors behind them, host Gary Ruddell is joined by Group-IB's Global Threat Research Lead, Anastasia Tikhonova to explore this group's rise. From the FBI investigation to a growing culture of criminal infighting, we unpack why ShinyHunters has become one of the most talked-about names in the underground and what its rise tells us about the future of cyber extortion.

  • MuddyWater: Expanding an Espionage Operation

    MuddyWater: Expanding an Espionage Operation
    2026/09/30

    Send us Fan Mail

    Successful espionage usually relies on patience. Nation-state actors quietly infiltrate targets, maintain access for years, and gather intelligence without attracting attention.

    But one threat actor has spent nearly a decade rewriting that playbook.

    MuddyWater has built its reputation on aggressive and continuous retooling. With ties to Iran, the group’s ambitions have only grown bolder in the past year, setting its sight on rapid expansion and relentless technical evolution.

    Hosts Gary Ruddell and former INTERPOL Cybercrime Director Craig Jones sit down with cybersecurity journalist Ravie Lakshmanan, who has spent years tracking the group[s evolution. Together, they explore the driving forces behind MuddyWater’s rapid expansion and evolution, discuss why state linked actors remain so difficult to disrupt, and how we can defend against an adversary that never stands still.

    By understanding who these actors are and how they operate, you can better anticipate threats and protect yourself in an increasingly hostile digital world.
