Disclosure context

About incransom

Incransom is a ransomware group that emerged in August 2023, operating with primarily financial motivations as evidenced by their targeting of high-value sectors across multiple developed nations. The group's origin and specific affiliations remain undocumented by major threat intelligence organizations, though their operational patterns suggest they likely operate independently rather than as a ransomware-as-a-service model. With 734 documented victims, Incransom has demonstrated a preference for targeting organizations in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia, with particular focus on healthcare, technology, business services, and manufacturing sectors, though their attack methodology and specific technical capabilities have not been extensively documented by established security researchers or government agencies. The group's notable campaigns and specific high-profile victims have not been publicly detailed by CISA, FBI, Mandiant, or other reputable threat intelligence sources, suggesting either operational security effectiveness or limited visibility into their most significant operations. Based on available intelligence, Incransom appears to remain active as of recent reporting periods, though comprehensive analysis of their current operational status requires additional documentation from established threat intelligence sources. The group has been linked to 805 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on August 9, 2023; most recent post May 19, 2026. The operation is currently active.
