AuditTeam (also tracked as audit team) is a ransomware operator currently active on public leak sites. Darkfield has indexed 8 public victims claimed by this operator between April 8, 2026 and May 18, 2026. AuditTeam is a relatively obscure ransomware group that emerged in April 2026 and appears to be financially motivated based on their operational patterns. The group's origin and affiliations remain unclear due to limited public documentation, though their targeting of victims primarily across China, Hong Kong, Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand suggests possible regional focus or language capabilities in Asian markets. With only five documented victims to date, AuditTeam appears to operate as a smaller-scale ransomware operation, showing particular interest in manufacturing and technology sectors alongside unspecified target types. Due to the group's recent emergence and limited scale of operations, there are no publicly documented major campaigns, high-profile victims, or significant law enforcement actions against them by agencies such as CISA, FBI, or major security research firms. The group's current operational status remains unknown given the sparse public intelligence available, and their attack methodology, encryption techniques, and extortion tactics have not been comprehensively documented by reputable security researchers as of available reporting.
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.
