Operator dossier

0Mega is a ransomware operator no longer publishing new disclosures. Darkfield has indexed 7 public victims claimed by this operator between July 14, 2022 and January 25, 2024. 0Mega is a relatively obscure ransomware group that emerged in July 2022, operating with apparent financial motivations based on their extortion activities. The group's origin and affiliations remain unclear due to limited public documentation, though their targeting patterns suggest they operate as a smaller independent entity rather than a major Ransomware-as-a-Service operation. With only seven documented victims, 0Mega appears to employ targeted attacks primarily against business services organizations in the United States, though specific details about their initial access vectors, encryption methods, or data exfiltration practices have not been extensively documented by major security firms or law enforcement agencies. The group has maintained a low profile with no widely reported high-profile attacks or significant ransoms that have garnered attention from CISA, FBI, or prominent security researchers like Mandiant. As of current reporting, 0Mega's operational status remains uncertain due to the limited intelligence available about their recent activities or any potential law enforcement disruption efforts.

How we know this. Operator profiles on Darkfield are built from continuous monitoring of every leak site the group is known to operate, cross-correlated with community-curated feeds (RansomLook, ransomware.live, RansomWatch, MISP-galaxy). Status flips from active to inactive when no new disclosure appears for 60 days. MITRE ATT&CK mappings shown in the interactive section below are sourced from CISA, vendor analysis, and the MITRE community catalog — we attribute each technique back to its source. Aliases reflect operator re-brands and affiliate splits.
