The new cybercrime group AlphaLock, which has a bright marketing strategy and a unique business model, has attracted the attention of cybersecurity researchers. A group calling itself a "pentesting training organization" trains hackers and monetizes their services through a specialized affiliate program. BleepingComputer wrote about the group's activities, referring to the investigation of specialists.
AlphaLock offers a two-stage business model: pentesting training and the ALPentest hacker marketplace.
Due to the growing attention to the group's activities, AlphaLock announced the transition to the less popular and decentralized Matrix communication platform, which may be due to the desire to reduce the risk of detection of activities by law enforcement agencies.
AlphaLock demonstrates new trends in the field of cybercrime: improving specialization, creating its own educational programs, and expanding monetization methods. The AlphaLock Group highlights the growing organizational and business literacy of cybercriminals, as well as the use of public platforms for their activities.

- Bazooka Code Pentest Training: AlphaLock offers courses to train hackers. According to the group, hackers train "pentesters", which implies legitimate activities. The course costs $ 185 and lasts for 2 months. Many experts see the courses as a cover for training cybercriminals. The group claims that the training is aimed at building a strong team of specialists who can switch to legitimate cybersecurity activities in the future.
- ALPentest Hacker Market: a platform where customers can order pentesting services. Perhaps graduates of Bazooka Code courses will provide such services. Clients can monitor the process of completing tasks in real time using an encrypted key.
