Disclosure context

About Mallox

**Overview:** Mallox is a financially motivated ransomware group that emerged in November 2022, operating as a relatively new player in the ransomware ecosystem with a focus on extracting monetary payments from victim organizations across multiple industry sectors. **Origin & Affiliation:** The group's country of origin and specific affiliations remain largely undocumented by major threat intelligence organizations, though their operational patterns suggest they operate independently rather than as part of a larger ransomware-as-a-service operation. **Attack Methodology:** Limited public documentation exists regarding Mallox's specific attack vectors and technical capabilities, though their successful compromise of 49 documented victims suggests they employ conventional ransomware deployment methods including data encryption and likely extortion tactics to pressure victims into payment. **Notable Campaigns:** Mallox has demonstrated a preference for targeting technology companies, business services, and manufacturing sectors, with their operations showing particular concentration in the United Kingdom, India, and the United States, though specific high-profile incidents have not been widely publicized by major cybersecurity firms or law enforcement agencies. **Current Status:** The group remains active as of recent threat intelligence reporting, continuing to conduct ransomware operations across their preferred geographic and sectoral targets. The group has been linked to 49 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on November 4, 2022; most recent post July 15, 2024. The operation is currently inactive.

Attack summary

Severity: high — Data has been confirmed as published (disclosed status: data_published) with a downloadable archive linked publicly. Tlantic serves retail, healthcare, and industrial clients, meaning exfiltrated data may include client PII, operational, or healthcare-adjacent information, warranting a high severity rating even without a detailed data inventory.

Mallox claims to have exfiltrated data from Tlantic and has published what is described as an archived dataset via an AnonFiles link protected by a password, indicating confirmed data exfiltration and publication. No encryption or ransom negotiation outcome is explicitly stated beyond the nominal $46 figure.
