Disclosure context

About RunSomeWares

RunSomeWares is an emerging ransomware group first observed in February 2025, operating with apparent financial motivations based on their targeting of high-value sectors. Given the recent emergence and limited public documentation, the group's country of origin and potential affiliations with other cybercriminal organizations remain unclear, though their operational structure suggests they may operate as an independent entity rather than a Ransomware-as-a-Service model. The group has demonstrated a preference for targeting critical infrastructure sectors including financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing across the United States, France, and Thailand, suggesting sophisticated initial access capabilities, though specific attack vectors and encryption methodologies have not yet been publicly documented by major security researchers or government agencies. With only six known victims documented since their February 2025 emergence, RunSomeWares appears to be conducting selective, targeted operations rather than broad-scale campaigns, and no major ransoms or high-profile incidents have been publicly reported by CISA, FBI, or established threat intelligence firms. The group remains active as of current reporting, though the limited intelligence available suggests they are either maintaining a low operational profile or represent a relatively small-scale ransomware operation compared to established groups. The group has been linked to 6 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on February 27, 2025; most recent post August 13, 2025. The operation is currently inactive.

Also tracked as: run some wares.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by RunSomeWares means F&V Capital Management, LLC (FVCM) 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 RunSomeWares's leak site and across paste and breach channels, and brief downstream partners who may be exposed through you.
