Disclosure context

About raworld

Raworld is a relatively new ransomware group that emerged in May 2023, operating with primarily financial motivations and demonstrating a broad international targeting approach. The group's origin and specific affiliations remain unclear based on publicly available information, though their targeting patterns suggest they may operate independently rather than as part of a larger ransomware-as-a-service ecosystem. Limited public documentation exists regarding their specific attack methodologies, though their victim profile spanning multiple sectors including business services, technology, manufacturing, and healthcare suggests they likely employ opportunistic targeting rather than highly specialized initial access vectors. With 112 documented victims across major economies including Germany, the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Italy, Raworld has demonstrated significant operational capability despite their recent emergence, though specific details about notable high-profile attacks or law enforcement disruption efforts have not been widely reported by major threat intelligence organizations. As of current reporting, the group appears to remain active, though the limited public intelligence available makes definitive assessment of their operational status challenging. The group has been linked to 112 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on May 6, 2023; most recent post December 28, 2024. The operation is currently inactive.
