Disclosure context

About insomnia

Based on the limited publicly available information, Insomnia is a relatively new ransomware group that first emerged in February 2026, appearing to be financially motivated based on their targeting patterns and operational behavior. The group's country of origin and potential affiliations with other ransomware operations remain unknown, with insufficient public documentation from major threat intelligence sources to determine whether they operate as a Ransomware-as-a-Service model or as an independent entity. Their attack methodology and specific technical capabilities have not been extensively documented by CISA, FBI, or major security research firms, though their targeting of 29 known victims across healthcare, technology, manufacturing, and hospitality sectors in the United States, Singapore, and Brazil suggests a broad opportunistic approach rather than highly selective operations. Given the group's recent emergence and limited public reporting from established threat intelligence sources, there are no widely documented notable campaigns or high-profile incidents that have garnered significant attention from law enforcement or major security vendors. As of current reporting, the operational status of Insomnia remains unclear due to the lack of comprehensive public analysis from authoritative sources, making it difficult to assess whether the group remains active or has ceased operations. The group has been linked to 34 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on February 7, 2026; most recent post April 28, 2026. The operation is currently active.
