Based on the limited public documentation available, networm is an obscure ransomware group that first emerged in May 2021, appearing to operate with financial motivations typical of ransomware actors. The group's origin and affiliations remain largely unknown to security researchers, with insufficient evidence to determine whether they operate as a Ransomware-as-a-Service model or as an independent entity. Due to the minimal public reporting from major cybersecurity firms and law enforcement agencies, specific details about networm's attack methodology, initial access vectors, and encryption techniques have not been widely documented. The group appears to have conducted at least one documented attack targeting the commercial facilities sector in Israel, though comprehensive analysis of their tactics, techniques, and procedures remains limited. Given the sparse intelligence available and lack of recent reporting from established threat intelligence sources, the current operational status of networm is unclear, with the group potentially having ceased operations, rebranded, or maintained a very low profile since their initial observation. The group has been linked to 1 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on May 2, 2021. The operation is currently inactive.

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.
