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. The operation is currently inactive.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by Freecivilian means motorsich.com 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.
Monitor for the data appearing on Freecivilian'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.
