MedusaLocker is a ransomware group that emerged in November 2022, operating with primarily financial motivations and targeting organizations across multiple sectors including technology, energy, healthcare, and manufacturing. The group's origin and specific affiliations remain largely undocumented in public threat intelligence reports, though their operational patterns suggest they may operate as part of the broader ransomware-as-a-service ecosystem that has proliferated in recent years. With 51 documented victims primarily concentrated in the United States, United Arab Emirates, Germany, Canada, and Antigua and Barbuda, MedusaLocker appears to focus on opportunistic targeting rather than specific geographic or sectoral specialization. The group's attack methodology and specific technical capabilities have not been extensively documented by major threat intelligence organizations, though their targeting of critical infrastructure sectors including healthcare and energy suggests they likely employ common ransomware tactics such as network encryption and potential data exfiltration. No major high-profile attacks or significant law enforcement disruptions against MedusaLocker have been publicly reported by CISA, FBI, or other major security agencies. The current operational status of MedusaLocker remains unclear due to limited public documentation, though the relatively recent emergence date suggests the group may still be active or have transitioned to other operations. The group has been linked to 67 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on November 15, 2022; most recent post May 5, 2026. The operation is currently active.

How we know this. Darkfield monitors public ransomware leak sites continuously, archiving every new disclosure and the data later released against the victim. Each entry on this page is sourced from the operator's own publication and cross-checked against complementary OSINT feeds (RansomLook, ransomware.live, RansomWatch). We do not collect or host stolen data — only the metadata, timestamps and screenshots needed to make the public disclosure searchable and accountable. Records here are corrected when the original post is edited, retracted, or merged with another disclosure.
