Operator dossier

settra is a ransomware operator currently active on public leak sites. Darkfield has indexed 22 public victims claimed by this operator between June 28, 2026 and June 30, 2026. Settra is a ransomware group first observed in June 2026 with an apparent primary motivation of financial gain, having claimed at least 11 victims within a relatively short operational window. Given the recency of their emergence and limited public documentation from major threat intelligence sources such as CISA, FBI, or Mandiant at this time, detailed technical attribution remains unconfirmed. Their targeting pattern shows a geographic concentration in the United States, Taiwan, Portugal, Singapore, and Canada, suggesting an opportunistic rather than narrowly focused regional strategy. Affected sectors include Consumer Services, Manufacturing, Transportation and Logistics, and Agriculture and Food Production, indicating the group does not restrict itself to a single vertical and likely prioritizes target accessibility over sector-specific expertise. No publicly documented information is currently available to confirm their country of origin, RaaS affiliation, specific initial access vectors, encryption methodology, or extortion tactics, and no major law enforcement actions against the group have been publicly reported as of this writing. Given their nascent operational timeline and limited victim count, Settra should be considered an emerging threat actor warranting continued monitoring as their tactics, techniques, and procedures become better characterized through future incident reporting and threat intelligence disclosures.

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.
