Disclosure context

About Sarcoma

Sarcoma is a relatively new ransomware group that emerged in October 2024, operating with apparent financial motivations and demonstrating a broad international targeting approach with at least 140 documented victims across multiple countries and industry sectors. The group's origin and affiliations remain unclear due to its recent emergence, with no publicly documented connections to established ransomware families or confirmation of whether they operate as an independent entity or through a Ransomware-as-a-Service model. Limited public information is available regarding Sarcoma's specific attack methodologies, initial access vectors, or technical capabilities, though their targeting patterns suggest opportunistic rather than highly selective victim selection across diverse industries including manufacturing, business services, agriculture and food production, and technology sectors. The group has shown a particular focus on victims in the United States while also maintaining operations against targets in Italy, Canada, Germany, and Australia, though no specific high-profile attacks or record ransom demands have been publicly documented by major security firms or law enforcement agencies. Given the group's recent emergence in late 2024, Sarcoma appears to remain active with no reported law enforcement disruptions or confirmed rebranding activities at this time. The group has been linked to 150 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on October 9, 2024; most recent post May 12, 2026. The operation is currently active.

Also tracked as: Sarcoma Ransomware Group.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by Sarcoma means I.B.G SPA 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, CSIRT Italia (Italy), as required for your jurisdiction.
Monitor for the data appearing on Sarcoma'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.
