Flashpoint Has Found That Killnet Is Rebranding And Reorganizing

Flashpoint has published a blog today entitled: For Money and Attention: Killnet Apparently Reorganizes Again

The past months have seen Killnet trying to make money in various ways, although it appears that these attempts to attract funding were mostly unsuccessful, or at the very least insufficient. They include:

  • Publicly applying for sponsorship from the Russian state and from Russian businesspeople several times over the past months
  • Selling access to various documents exfiltrated from NATO countries
  • Selling the “Infinity” forum, which the group created in December 2022
  • Promoting its paid “hacking school” ($249 for a course) which is apparently yet to launch
  • Advertising its paid DDoS services 
  • Soliciting money from its followers

Killnet remains widely ridiculed on top-tier Russian-speaking forums. On Exploit, for example, a thread in which the group’s leader, Killmilk, was advertising the sale of Infinity, drew widespread mockery, with users offering a couple hundred dollars for what many of them saw as a lost cause.
