Disclosure context

About Redalert

Redalert is a relatively obscure ransomware group that emerged in July 2022 with primarily financial motivations, operating on a smaller scale compared to major ransomware families. The group's origin and potential affiliations remain largely undocumented in public threat intelligence reporting, with limited information available from major security organizations regarding their operational structure or whether they operate as a Ransomware-as-a-Service model. Based on available data, Redalert has demonstrated a geographic focus on Western European targets, particularly concentrating their operations against entities in the United Kingdom and France, though their specific attack methodologies, initial access vectors, and technical capabilities have not been extensively documented in public security research. With only six known victims since their emergence, the group represents a minor player in the ransomware ecosystem, and their limited operational footprint suggests they may lack the sophistication and resources of more prominent ransomware operations. Current intelligence indicates minimal ongoing activity from this group, though definitive information about their operational status, potential disruption, or dissolution is not available in public reporting from major cybersecurity organizations. The group has been linked to 6 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on July 14, 2022; most recent post September 22, 2022. The operation is currently inactive.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by Redalert means coarc.org appeared on a ransomware extortion site and data attributed to it has been published. If this is your organisation, or a supplier you depend on, the priority is to confirm the intrusion and contain it before the window to act closes.

  • Engage your incident-response team and preserve forensic evidence before remediating — do not wipe affected systems first.
  • Force a password reset and revoke active sessions for exposed accounts; rotate any credentials, API keys or certificates that may have been in the stolen data.
  • Assess regulatory notification duties (GDPR, NIS2, sector regulators) — many carry a 72-hour reporting clock from awareness.
  • Report the incident to your national CERT, CISA (United States), as required for your jurisdiction.
  • Monitor for the data appearing on Redalert's leak site and across paste and breach channels, and brief downstream partners who may be exposed through you.

How we know this. Darkfield monitors public ransomware leak sites continuously, archiving every new disclosure and the data later released against the victim. Each entry on this page is sourced from the operator's own publication and cross-checked against complementary OSINT feeds (RansomLook, ransomware.live, RansomWatch). We do not collect or host stolen data — only the metadata, timestamps and screenshots needed to make the public disclosure searchable and accountable. Records here are corrected when the original post is edited, retracted, or merged with another disclosure.
