Disclosure context

About Freecivilian

Freecivilian is a relatively obscure ransomware group that emerged in December 2022 with a primarily financial motivation, having targeted at least 14 documented victims. The group's origin and potential affiliations remain largely unknown, with limited public documentation from major cybersecurity firms or law enforcement agencies regarding their operational structure or whether they operate as an independent entity or through a ransomware-as-a-service model. Their attack methodology and specific technical capabilities have not been extensively documented in publicly available threat intelligence reports, though their targeting pattern shows a notable focus on healthcare sector organizations. Given the limited public reporting on this group from established sources like CISA, FBI, or major cybersecurity research firms, specific details about notable campaigns, record ransom demands, or high-profile incidents remain undocumented in mainstream threat intelligence channels. The current operational status of Freecivilian is unclear due to the sparse public information available about this relatively low-profile ransomware operation. The group has been linked to 14 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on December 31, 2022; most recent post June 1, 2023. The operation is currently inactive.

About the victim

AI dossier — public-source company profile

gkh.in.ua appears to be a Ukrainian entity, potentially related to housing or communal services (GKH is a common abbreviation for housing and communal economy in post-Soviet states). The public site excerpt provides insufficient detail to characterize the company further. The domain suggests operations in Ukraine rather than India.
