Threat Actor Analysis
Raworld is a ransomware threat group that has disclosed 84 victims in publicly accessible leak site data, representing 0.4% of all ransomware attacks tracked in this database. The earliest victim disclosure attributed to Raworld in our dataset dates to March 2024.
Geographically, Raworld has targeted organisations in 19 countries. The most frequently targeted nation is United States with 12 victim organisations. Other heavily targeted nations include Germany, United Kingdom, Italy.
Industry-wise, Raworld shows a concentration in the Manufacturing, Business Services, Technology 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, Raworld 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.
