- Krybit — Krybit is an emerging RaaS group that launched in late March 2026, offering affiliates an 80/20 revenue split with support for Windows, Linux, ESXi, and NAS device encryption, and became notable for a public feud with rival group 0APT in which each breached and leaked the other's operator data.
- Safepay — SafePay emerged in September 2024 as a rapidly growing ransomware operation that explicitly disavows the RaaS model and manages all operations internally, claiming over 300 victims worldwide by mid-2025 with a high-profile early attack against UK telematics firm Microlise stealing 1.2 TB of data.
- Auditteam — AuditTeam is a small ransomware group with approximately 5 known victims, primarily targeting organizations in East and Southeast Asia across technology and manufacturing sectors, operating a data leak site consistent with double-extortion methodology.
