The J ransomware group is a newly emerged threat actor first observed in May 2025, operating with apparent financial motivations based on their targeting patterns across multiple countries and sectors. With limited public documentation available from established security research organizations, the group has demonstrated rapid operational capability by compromising 41 known victims within their initial months of activity. Their targeting strategy appears opportunistic, focusing primarily on organizations in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Argentina, and Germany, with a particular emphasis on technology companies, manufacturing firms, construction businesses, and business services providers. The diversity of their geographic and sectoral targeting suggests either a broad-spectrum approach to victim selection or potential use of automated tools for initial compromise identification. Given the recent emergence of this group and limited reporting from major cybersecurity firms and law enforcement agencies, specific details regarding their technical methodologies, ransom demands, data exfiltration practices, or organizational structure remain undocumented in publicly available threat intelligence. The group remains active as of current reporting periods, though their relative obscurity in established threat intelligence databases suggests they may be operating at a smaller scale compared to more prominent ransomware-as-a-service operations. The group has been linked to 41 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on May 2, 2025; most recent post November 9, 2025. 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.
