Darkfield

Operator dossier

skira is a ransomware operator currently active on public leak sites. Darkfield has indexed 8 public victims claimed by this operator between March 6, 2025 and November 18, 2025. Skira is a recently emerged ransomware group first observed in March 2025, operating with apparent financial motivations through targeted attacks against organizations primarily in the United States, India, Japan, and Turkey. The group's origin and potential affiliations remain unclear given their recent emergence, and there is insufficient public documentation to determine whether they operate as a Ransomware-as-a-Service model or as an independent entity. Based on their targeting pattern across diverse geographic regions and sectors including financial services, technology, manufacturing, and construction, the group appears to employ opportunistic attack vectors, though specific technical methodologies, encryption techniques, and data extortion tactics have not been publicly documented by major security researchers or government agencies. With only eight documented victims since their March 2025 emergence, Skira has not yet conducted any widely publicized high-profile campaigns or attracted significant law enforcement attention. The group appears to remain active as of current reporting, though comprehensive threat intelligence remains limited due to their recent operational timeline.

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.
