Disclosure context

About payoutsking

PayoutsKing is a recently emerged ransomware group first observed in July 2025, operating with apparent financial motivations and demonstrating broad geographic and sectoral targeting capabilities. With limited public documentation available from major threat intelligence sources, the group's origin and affiliations remain unclear, though their targeting pattern suggests a professional ransomware operation rather than opportunistic attacks. Based on available victim data, PayoutsKing has compromised approximately 60 organizations across multiple sectors, with primary focus on the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, France, and Spain, targeting manufacturing, healthcare, technology, and construction industries alongside various other sectors. The group's attack methodology, encryption techniques, and whether they employ double or triple extortion tactics have not been publicly detailed by established security researchers or government agencies. Given the group's recent emergence in July 2025, there are no widely reported major campaigns or high-profile incidents documented by reputable sources such as CISA, FBI, or Mandiant at this time. PayoutsKing appears to remain active as of current reporting, though comprehensive threat intelligence profiles from established security firms have not yet been published due to the group's recent emergence. The group has been linked to 100 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on July 7, 2025; most recent post May 13, 2026. The operation is currently active.

Attack summary

Severity: high — Data has been published (data_published status confirmed), and the victim operates in the pharmaceutical/healthcare CDMO sector where proprietary formulations, regulatory filings, client records, and potentially sensitive personal or clinical data are likely present. The healthcare/pharma context elevates severity even absent an explicit data inventory.

The group 'payoutsking' claims to have compromised Englewood Lab and has published data (disclosed status: data_published), though the leak post does not specify whether encryption, exfiltration, or both occurred, nor does it detail the volume or nature of the published data.
