Operator dossier

roadsweep is a ransomware operator no longer publishing new disclosures. Darkfield has indexed 1 public victims claimed by this operator between July 18, 2022. Roadsweep is an obscure ransomware group that emerged in July 2022 with apparent financial motivations, though limited public documentation exists about their operations. The group's origin and potential affiliations remain unknown, with no confirmed information about whether they operate as a Ransomware-as-a-Service model or function independently. Based on available data, Roadsweep has demonstrated a specific focus on government facilities, with their targeting primarily concentrated in Albania, though their attack methodology, encryption techniques, and use of data exfiltration tactics have not been publicly documented by major security researchers or government agencies. The group's operational scope appears limited, with only one documented victim identified in public reporting, and no major campaigns or high-profile incidents have been attributed to them by CISA, FBI, or established threat intelligence firms. Current intelligence suggests Roadsweep remains a minor actor in the ransomware landscape with minimal confirmed activity beyond their initial emergence period.

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.
