Threat Actor Analysis

Global is a ransomware threat group that has disclosed 38 victims in publicly accessible leak site data, representing 0.2% of all ransomware attacks tracked in this database. The earliest victim disclosure attributed to Global in our dataset dates to June 2025.

Geographically, Global has targeted organisations in 20 countries. The most frequently targeted nation is United States with 7 victim organisations. Other heavily targeted nations include Australia, Brazil, Italy.

Industry-wise, Global shows a concentration in the Healthcare, Technology, Manufacturing sectors. These industries are frequently targeted because they manage sensitive data, critical operations, or have lower tolerance for operational downtime โ€” conditions that increase ransom payment likelihood.

Like most modern ransomware operations, Global likely employs a double extortion model: encrypting victim files while simultaneously exfiltrating data, creating dual pressure to pay the ransom. Victim organisations that refuse payment face having their data published on the group's dark web leak site.
