This report, written by Dos-Op and the Alma Center, presents a comprehensive mapping of the cyberattack group BQT.Lock (BaqiyatLock) and its leader Karim Fayad, revealing a direct and systematic affiliation with Hezbollah and the Iranian cyber apparatus.
BQT.Lock operates as an offensive cyber arm with a distinctly ideological and religious motive, combining criminal cyber activity, (including ransomware attacks and the sale of ransomware tools), with the advancement of Hezbollah’s security, psychological, and economic goals.
The group operates a Ransomware-as-a-Service platform under the brand Baqiyat and claims to have encrypted hundreds of servers and stolen sensitive data around the world.
