About INC Ransom

INC Ransom is a financially motivated ransomware group that emerged in September 2021 and has since compromised 832 known victims across multiple sectors. The group's origin and specific affiliations remain undocumented in public threat intelligence reports, though their operational patterns suggest they likely operate as an independent entity rather than a formal Ransomware-as-a-Service model. While detailed attack methodologies for INC Ransom have not been extensively documented by major security firms, their victim distribution indicates they employ broad-spectrum targeting approaches that have successfully penetrated healthcare, technology, business services, and manufacturing organizations. The group demonstrates a preference for targeting English-speaking countries, with the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom representing their primary victim demographics, alongside significant activity in Germany and Australia. Notable campaigns or high-profile attacks by INC Ransom have not been prominently featured in major threat intelligence publications from CISA, FBI, or leading security researchers, suggesting they may operate with a lower public profile despite their substantial victim count. INC Ransom remains active as of current intelligence assessments, with no documented law enforcement disruptions or confirmed rebranding efforts. The group has been linked to 836 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on September 9, 2021; most recent post May 20, 2026. The operation is currently active.

Attack summary

Severity: high — Data has been confirmed as published by the threat actor. As a nonprofit handling vulnerable populations (low-income Native Americans on reservations), the likely presence of PII relating to beneficiaries, donors, and staff — combined with confirmed publication — constitutes a significant data exposure warranting high severity.

INC Ransom claims to have compromised Partnership With Native Americans and has published data ('data_published' status), suggesting exfiltration of organizational data; specific data types and volumes were not detailed in the truncated post.
