Disclosure context

About Darkpower

Darkpower is a relatively obscure ransomware group that emerged in March 2023, operating with apparent financial motivations based on their targeting patterns and ransom demands. The group's origin and potential state affiliations remain unclear due to limited public documentation by major threat intelligence organizations, though their diverse geographic targeting across Turkey, Czech Republic, France, Peru, and Algeria suggests either opportunistic selection or a broad operational scope. With only 10 documented victims since their emergence, Darkpower appears to be a smaller-scale operation that has specifically focused on healthcare sector organizations, potentially indicating either specialized capabilities for compromising medical infrastructure or opportunistic targeting of organizations perceived as more likely to pay ransoms quickly due to operational criticality. The group's specific attack methodologies, initial access vectors, and technical capabilities have not been extensively documented in public threat intelligence reports from major security firms or government agencies. Given the limited public information available and the relatively small victim count, Darkpower's current operational status remains unclear, though the group has not been subject to any publicized law enforcement actions or confirmed disruptions as of late 2023. The group has been linked to 10 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on March 11, 2023. The operation is currently inactive.
