silent

The Silent ransomware group is a newly emerged cybercriminal organization first observed in April 2025, appearing to be financially motivated based on their ransomware operations targeting organizations primarily in the United States and Canada. Given the group's recent emergence and limited public documentation, their specific country of origin and operational structure remain unclear, though their targeting patterns suggest a focus on English-speaking markets. With only six known victims documented to date, detailed information about their attack methodology, encryption techniques, and specific tools remains limited in publicly available threat intelligence reporting. The group has demonstrated a preference for targeting technology companies, manufacturing organizations, and public sector entities, though the small victim sample size makes broader targeting pattern analysis preliminary. Due to the group's recent emergence in April 2025, there are no widely reported major campaigns or law enforcement actions documented by established security researchers or government agencies. Silent remains active as of current reporting, though their limited victim count and recent emergence suggest they are either a new player in the ransomware ecosystem or operate with a highly selective targeting approach.
