Disclosure context

About VEXY

VEXY is a ransomware group first observed in September 2026 with an apparent primary motivation of financial gain, though limited public documentation exists given its nascent operational history and small victim footprint. Based on available data, the group has claimed responsibility for attacks against two known victims, with targeting concentrated in Brazil and Ecuador, suggesting a regional focus on Latin American organizations. VEXY has demonstrated interest in the manufacturing and food and beverage sectors, industries that are frequently targeted due to their operational sensitivity and lower tolerance for downtime, which can increase the likelihood of ransom payment. No authoritative attribution regarding country of origin, RaaS affiliation, or technical tooling has been publicly documented by CISA, FBI, Mandiant, or other reputable threat intelligence sources at this time, and the group's attack methodology, encryption implementation, and extortion tactics remain uncharacterized in open-source reporting. Given its very recent emergence and limited victim count, VEXY should be considered an emerging and closely monitored threat, particularly for organizations operating in Latin American manufacturing and food production verticals, though its long-term operational capability and sustainability have yet to be established. The group has been linked to 16 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on September 4, 2026; most recent post September 13, 2026. The operation is currently active.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by VEXY means Strad Solutions appeared on a ransomware extortion site and is being pressured to pay before any publication. 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.
Monitor for the data appearing on VEXY's leak site and across paste and breach channels, and brief downstream partners who may be exposed through you.
