Exfiltration of engineering, manufacturing, or customer data from a defence supplier of this scale constitutes a critical national-security-level exposure of sensitive defence-industrial information, regardless of the absence of a detailed leak post.

Disclosure context

About Revil

REvil, also known as Sodinokibi, was a highly sophisticated ransomware-as-a-service operation that emerged in April 2019 and quickly became one of the most prolific and financially successful cybercriminal organizations, primarily motivated by financial gain. The group is believed to have originated from Russia, operating as a RaaS model where core developers rented their ransomware tools to affiliate criminals, and maintained connections to the now-defunct GandCrab ransomware operation with some researchers suggesting personnel overlap. REvil primarily gained initial access through exploiting vulnerabilities in remote desktop protocol implementations, phishing campaigns, and supply chain attacks, employing double extortion tactics where they exfiltrated sensitive data before encryption and threatened to publish it on their "Happy Blog" leak site if ransoms were not paid, using advanced encryption methods that made file recovery nearly impossible without payment. The group conducted several high-profile attacks including the devastating supply chain attack against Kaseya in July 2021 that affected thousands of downstream customers, attacks on major corporations like JBS Foods, and demanded ransoms reaching up to $70 million, ultimately leading to increased law enforcement attention and pressure from international authorities. Following coordinated law enforcement actions and mounting pressure from the U.S. and Russian governments in late 2021, REvil's infrastructure was taken down and the group ceased operations, with several suspected members reportedly arrested by Russian authorities. The group has been linked to 96 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on August 26, 2019; most recent post November 28, 2022. The operation is currently inactive.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by Revil means neroindustry.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.
Report the incident to your national CERT, CSIRT Italia (Italy), as required for your jurisdiction.
Monitor for the data appearing on Revil'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.
