Disclosure context

About Darkrace

Darkrace is a relatively new ransomware group that emerged in May 2023, operating with primarily financial motivations through targeted extortion campaigns. The group demonstrates a preference for targeting European nations, particularly Italy, Sweden, and Portugal, while also conducting operations against victims in Japan and Switzerland, suggesting a broad international scope despite their limited scale of operations. With only 10 documented victims since their emergence, Darkrace appears to operate as a smaller, independent ransomware operation rather than a large-scale Ransomware-as-a-Service enterprise, though specific details regarding their country of origin and potential affiliations with other cybercriminal groups remain undocumented in public threat intelligence reporting. Due to the limited public documentation from major cybersecurity firms and law enforcement agencies regarding Darkrace's specific attack methodologies, encryption techniques, and initial access vectors, their operational tactics and technical capabilities are not well-established in current threat intelligence databases. The group has not been associated with any major, high-profile ransomware incidents that have drawn significant public attention or law enforcement response, likely due to their relatively small victim count and recent emergence in the threat landscape. Current intelligence suggests Darkrace remains active as of late 2023, though their limited operational footprint and absence from major cybersecurity advisories indicates they represent a lower-tier threat compared to more established ransomware operations. The group has been linked to 10 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on May 31, 2023; most recent post June 9, 2023. The operation is currently inactive.
