Operator dossier

Vendetta is a ransomware operator no longer publishing new disclosures. Darkfield has indexed 3 public victims claimed by this operator between February 12, 2023 and February 27, 2023. Vendetta is a relatively minor ransomware group that emerged in February 2023, appearing to be financially motivated based on their operational patterns. The group's origin and affiliations remain largely unknown due to limited public reporting, though their small scale of operations suggests they likely operate as an independent entity rather than a major ransomware-as-a-service operation. Details regarding Vendetta's specific attack methodology, initial access vectors, and technical capabilities have not been extensively documented by major security firms or government agencies, indicating either highly targeted operations or limited visibility into their activities. With only three known victims since their emergence, Vendetta has not conducted any widely reported major campaigns or attracted significant law enforcement attention, distinguishing them from more prominent ransomware groups that typically generate extensive threat intelligence reporting. The group's current operational status remains unclear due to the limited public documentation surrounding their activities, though the small number of attributed victims suggests either highly selective targeting or limited operational capacity.

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.
