About Moneymessage

Moneymessage is a relatively new ransomware group that emerged in March 2023, operating with primarily financial motivations and targeting organizations across multiple sectors globally. Given the group's recent emergence and limited public documentation from major security agencies, detailed information about their origin and affiliations remains largely unknown, though their targeting patterns suggest they may operate as a smaller independent operation rather than a large-scale RaaS model. The group has demonstrated a broad targeting approach across healthcare, business services, public sector, government, and financial organizations, with their 29 documented victims spanning geographically diverse regions including the United States, Italy, Argentina, Bangladesh, and Russia, though specific attack methodologies and technical capabilities have not been extensively documented by major threat intelligence firms. Notable campaigns and high-profile attacks attributed to Moneymessage have not been widely reported by established security researchers or law enforcement agencies, likely due to the group's relatively recent emergence and smaller scale of operations compared to more prominent ransomware families. The group appears to remain active as of available reporting, though comprehensive analysis of their current operational status is limited by the lack of detailed public documentation from authoritative sources such as CISA, FBI, or major cybersecurity firms. The group has been linked to 32 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on March 29, 2023; most recent post May 16, 2026. The operation is currently active.

Severity: medium — Exfiltration of gigabytes from a financial-sector 'huge trust' is claimed and the disclosure status is data_published, but no specific data categories (PII, account data, etc.) are confirmed, no proof file count is advertised, and the victim identity itself remains unverified, preventing a higher severity rating.
