Disclosure context

About Redransomware

Redransomware is a relatively new ransomware operation that emerged in March 2024, operating with apparent financial motivations and demonstrating a geographically diverse targeting approach across multiple continents. Due to the group's recent emergence and limited public documentation from established threat intelligence sources, specific details about their country of origin, organizational structure, and potential affiliations remain largely unconfirmed by major security agencies. The group has targeted at least 16 known victims across a varied sector portfolio including technology companies, business services, manufacturing firms, hospitality and tourism organizations, and healthcare entities, with attacks concentrated primarily in the United States while also extending to international targets in Mexico, Denmark, Singapore, and Antigua and Barbuda. Given the nascent nature of this threat actor and the limited timeframe since their first observed activity, comprehensive details about their specific attack methodologies, tools, encryption techniques, and operational tactics have not yet been extensively documented in public threat intelligence reports from established sources such as CISA, FBI, or major cybersecurity firms. As of available reporting, Redransomware appears to remain an active threat, though the group's relatively small victim count and recent emergence suggest they may still be in early operational phases or represent a smaller-scale ransomware operation compared to more established and widely-documented threat groups. The group has been linked to 16 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on March 28, 2024; most recent post June 12, 2024. The operation is currently inactive.

Also tracked as: red ransomware.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by Redransomware means Southcoindustries.com 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 Redransomware'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.
