Darkfield

Operator dossier

Dataleak is a ransomware operator no longer publishing new disclosures. Darkfield has indexed 6 public victims claimed by this operator between December 2, 2022. Dataleak is a relatively obscure ransomware group that emerged in December 2022 with apparent financial motivations, operating with a limited scope compared to major ransomware families. The group's origin and potential affiliations remain unclear based on publicly available threat intelligence, and there is insufficient documentation to determine whether they operate as a Ransomware-as-a-Service model or as an independent entity. Their attack methodology and specific technical capabilities have not been extensively documented by major cybersecurity firms or government agencies, though their targeting pattern suggests a focused approach on financial sector organizations. The group has primarily targeted victims in Germany with a concentration on financial services organizations, having compromised at least six known victims since their emergence. Given the limited public reporting and documentation from established threat intelligence sources such as CISA, FBI, or major security research firms, the current operational status of Dataleak remains uncertain, with their relatively small victim count and narrow geographic focus suggesting either limited capabilities or highly selective targeting criteria.

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.
