Attack summary

Severity: critical — Exfiltration of 2.96 TB uncompressed from a publicly-traded medical device manufacturer operating in healthcare. Data scale, sector sensitivity (patient safety implications for surgical device manufacturer), and confirmed publication of data inventory elevate this to critical severity despite lack of specific PII/medical record details stated.

Falcon claims to have exfiltrated 2.38 TB (compressed) / 2.96 TB (uncompressed) of data from Globus Medical's systems. The group states data publication occurred due to the victim's refusal to engage in negotiations or failure to honor settlement terms.

Disclosure context

About Falcon

Falcon is a ransomware group first observed in August 2026 with an apparent financial motivation, though limited public documentation exists given the group's recent emergence and low victim count. Based on available data, the group has claimed or been attributed to at least two known victims, with targeting concentrated in the United States across the manufacturing and healthcare sectors. Due to the group's nascent operational history and minimal coverage by major threat intelligence sources such as CISA, the FBI, Mandiant, or comparable research organizations, detailed technical attribution regarding country of origin, RaaS infrastructure, specific initial access vectors, encryption methodologies, or extortion tactics cannot be responsibly stated at this time. The targeting of manufacturing and healthcare verticals is consistent with broader ransomware ecosystem trends, where threat actors prioritize sectors with low tolerance for operational downtime and heightened incentive to pay ransoms quickly. Falcon's current operational status remains unclear, and the group should be considered an emerging or low-visibility threat warranting continued monitoring as its activity profile develops. The group has been linked to 2 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on August 30, 2026. The operation is currently active.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by Falcon means Globus Medical 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 Falcon'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.
