CiphBit is a ransomware-as-a-service group active since April 2023, targeting small-to-mid-sized businesses across the UK, Europe, and North America with 38 known victims, employing a data-broker model with selective free leaks to pressure victims alongside standard double extortion.

Become Affiliate was listed by Ciphbit ransomware, a group with 26 victims recorded in this database. The listing appeared on the group's leak site on February 10, 2026.
Ciphbit typically follows a double extortion model: data is exfiltrated from the victim's systems before files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished. The leak site, where this listing appeared, is the lever for the second demand.

To defend against Ciphbit and similar threat actors, organisations should: maintain regular offline backups tested for restoration; implement network segmentation to limit lateral movement; deploy multi-factor authentication on all remote access; use endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools; conduct regular phishing and security awareness training; and monitor threat intelligence feeds for indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with active groups.
