Threat actor analysis

Global has disclosed 40 victims on its leak site, 0.2% of all ransomware listings tracked in this database. Its earliest disclosure here dates to June 2025.

The group has listed organisations in 20 countries, most often in United States (9 victims), followed by Australia, Brazil, United Kingdom.

By industry, its listings concentrate in Healthcare, Technology, Manufacturing — sectors that hold sensitive data or cannot tolerate long outages, both of which raise the pressure to pay.

Like most current ransomware operations, Global is likely to use double extortion: data is stolen before files are encrypted, and organisations that refuse to pay are named on the leak site with the stolen data as leverage.
