SentinelOne researchers have disclosed a critical flaw in CyberVolk's new VolkLocker ransomware-as-a-service: a hardcoded master key stored in plaintext, enabling victims to decrypt files without ransom payment. Following the group's August 2025 relaunch after Telegram bans, this weakness underscores quality issues in their RaaS ecosystem.

The pro-Russia hacktivist group CyberVolk has reemerged with a new ransomware-as-a-service platform called VolkLocker, supporting both Linux and Windows systems. First documented in 2024 by SentinelOne, the group returned after a period of inactivity caused by Telegram bans. Despite advanced automation via Telegram bots, the malware features significant encryption flaws that could allow victims to recover files without payment.
