Disclosure context

About coinbasecartel

CoinbaseCartel is a ransomware group that emerged in September 2025 with financially motivated operations targeting organizations across multiple sectors and geographic regions. The group has demonstrated significant activity in a short timeframe, compromising at least 102 known victims primarily across the United States, United Arab Emirates, Germany, Canada, and Brazil. Their targeting patterns show a preference for technology companies, financial services organizations, manufacturing entities, and consumer services businesses, suggesting an opportunistic approach focused on organizations likely to have both valuable data and the financial resources to pay ransoms. Given the group's recent emergence and limited public documentation from established threat intelligence sources, details regarding their specific attack methodologies, infrastructure, and organizational structure remain largely unconfirmed by major cybersecurity firms or law enforcement agencies. The group appears to maintain active operations as of late 2025, though comprehensive analysis of their tactics, techniques, and procedures awaits further investigation and reporting by established threat intelligence organizations. The group has been linked to 188 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on September 15, 2025; most recent post July 14, 2026. The operation is currently active.

Also tracked as: coinbase cartel.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by coinbasecartel means Acu Trans Solutions 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 coinbasecartel'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.
