Operator dossier

Booba Project is a ransomware operator currently active on public leak sites. Darkfield has indexed 6 public victims claimed by this operator between July 6, 2026 and July 7, 2026. Booba Project is a nascent ransomware group first observed in July 2026, operating with an apparent financial motivation based on its targeting patterns, though limited public documentation exists given its recent emergence and small victim footprint. The group has claimed or been attributed to at least four known victims, with activity concentrated in Spain and the United States, spanning sectors including telecommunications, agriculture and food production, and technology, suggesting opportunistic rather than highly targeted sector-specific campaigns. Due to the group's recency and limited victim count, no detailed technical analysis of their tooling, initial access vectors, encryption methodology, or extortion tactics has been publicly documented by CISA, the FBI, Mandiant, or other reputable threat intelligence sources at this time. No notable high-profile campaigns, record ransoms, or law enforcement actions have been publicly attributed to Booba Project as of the available reporting period. Given its first observation date of July 2026 and minimal public reporting, the group should be considered emergent and actively monitored, with its operational status, potential RaaS affiliation, and country of origin remaining unconfirmed pending further intelligence collection and disclosure by authoritative cybersecurity organizations.

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.
