Most Active Groups
Group Intelligence
- 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.
- 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.
- Qilin — Qilin ransomware was first observed in July of 2022. Qilin Ransomware is written in Golang and supports multiple encryption modes; all of which are controlled by the operator. Qilin actors practice double extortion – demanding payment for a decryptor, as well as for the non-release of stolen 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.
- Lockbit5 — LockBit 5.0 ("ChuongDong") emerged in September 2025 as the group's resurgence following the February 2024 law enforcement takedown, introducing cross-platform payloads targeting Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXi with enhanced evasion capabilities and continuing the RaaS affiliate model of its predecessors.
