Disclosure context

About orca

Orca is an emerging ransomware group that was first observed in September 2024, appearing to be financially motivated based on their targeting patterns and operational behavior. The group's origin and affiliations remain unclear due to their recent emergence, with insufficient public documentation from major security researchers to definitively establish their country of origin or whether they operate as a Ransomware-as-a-Service model. Limited public information is available regarding their specific attack methodologies, initial access vectors, or encryption techniques, as major cybersecurity firms and government agencies have not yet published detailed technical analyses of their operations. The group has reportedly compromised at least four known victims across a geographically diverse range including Colombia, China, Austria, and Tennessee, with their attacks primarily targeting organizations in the technology, manufacturing, and transportation/logistics sectors. Given the group's recent emergence in September 2024 and lack of extensive public reporting, Orca appears to be in the early stages of their operations and remains active, though comprehensive threat intelligence on their capabilities and impact is still developing within the cybersecurity community. The group has been linked to 5 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on September 16, 2024; most recent post April 27, 2026. The operation is currently inactive.

Attack summary

Severity: medium — Data has been published by the threat actor, confirming some level of exfiltration, but the company is a small Italian winery with no indication of large-scale regulated data (medical, financial, government). The scope and sensitivity of exfiltrated data appear limited, warranting a medium severity rating.

The Orca ransomware group claims to have attacked Casale del Giglio and has published data (disclosed status: data_published); the leak post references the company's founding and background, suggesting exfiltration of internal records, though the exact data categories and volume are not specified in the truncated post.
