Disclosure context

About genesis

Genesis is a recently emerged ransomware group that was first observed in October 2025, operating with apparent financial motivations based on their targeting patterns across multiple high-value sectors. The group has demonstrated a relatively aggressive operational tempo since emergence, accumulating 54 documented victims within a short timeframe. Given the limited public documentation available from established threat intelligence sources regarding this newly identified group, specific details about their country of origin, organizational structure, and precise attack methodologies remain under investigation by security researchers. The group's targeting patterns indicate a preference for victims in the United States and United Kingdom, with additional activity observed in Malaysia and Spain, suggesting either a broad operational scope or the use of automated targeting tools that do not discriminate by geography. Their sector targeting reveals a focus on healthcare, manufacturing, business services, and financial services organizations, indicating they may prioritize entities with both high revenue potential and critical operational dependencies that increase pressure for ransom payment. Due to the group's recent emergence and limited reporting from major threat intelligence organizations such as Mandiant, CISA, or FBI, comprehensive details regarding their specific encryption methods, initial access vectors, data exfiltration practices, or notable high-profile campaigns have not yet been publicly documented. Genesis remains an active threat as of current reporting, though their operational longevity and potential connections to established ransomware ecosystems continue to be assessed by the cybersecurity community. The group has been linked to 82 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on October 21, 2025; most recent post May 19, 2026. The operation is currently active.

Attack summary

Severity: high — 4.4 TB of confirmed exfiltrated data covering proprietary engineering/technical designs, financial records, email archives, and supply chain data represents significant business-sensitive and potentially IP-rich exposure; the data is published, not merely threatened. While no large-scale consumer PII or government/medical data is explicitly confirmed, the volume and breadth of business-critical and technical data — including from a company serving biopharma clients — warrants a high rating.

The Genesis ransomware group claims to have exfiltrated approximately 4.4 TB of data from IPEC's file servers, including project, technical, operational, sales, supply chain, and financial data, as well as email archives and user/management folders. The group has published a file listing index and marked the disclosure status as data_published.
