Disclosure context

About tridentlocker

TridentLocker is a recently emerged ransomware group that was first observed in November 2025, appearing to be financially motivated based on their targeting patterns across multiple high-value sectors. The group's origin and affiliations remain unclear given their recent emergence, with no publicly documented connections to other ransomware operations or confirmed country of origin, though their global targeting suggests they may operate independently rather than as part of an established RaaS model. Limited public documentation exists regarding their specific attack methodology, tools, or encryption methods, though their targeting of technology, public sector, energy, and telecommunication organizations suggests they likely employ sophisticated initial access techniques and may utilize double extortion tactics given the sensitive nature of data in these sectors. With only 15 documented victims across the United States, Canada, Japan, Iraq, and Great Britain, the group has not yet conducted any widely publicized major campaigns or attracted significant law enforcement attention. TridentLocker appears to remain active as of their recent emergence, though comprehensive threat intelligence remains limited due to their brief operational history. The group has been linked to 16 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on November 29, 2025; most recent post April 27, 2026. The operation is currently active.
