The Warlock ransomware and operator(s) are believed to be attributed to Storm-2603, a China-based threat actor who is also known to have deployed LockBit ransomware. There's also a crossover between victims with Black Basta. Both are RaaS and have a long list of known and unknown affiliates. Having said that, this is possibly an affiliate (likely a cybergroup) of both of those groups. The Alliance & Association would technically be Encryptor Sharing, but this is realistically more of an "Old Affiliate" that created their own ransomware encryptor and operation.
Research shows the group leveraged the ToolShell exploit chain.
