Incident Analysis

BLADE was targeted by Spacebears ransomware, one of the most active ransomware groups in our database with 150 confirmed victims globally. The attack was disclosed on June 22, 2024, when BLADE appeared on the group's dark web leak site.

BLADE is based in MC , operating in the Transportation/Logistics sector. MC ranks #103 globally for ransomware attacks, with 5 victims in our database.

Sector context: Logistics companies are targeted because supply chain disruption has cascading effects on customers and partners, amplifying pressure to pay ransoms quickly to restore operations.

Spacebears typically employs a double extortion model: first exfiltrating sensitive data from the victim's systems, then deploying ransomware to encrypt files. Victims face two simultaneous threats — paying to restore access and paying to prevent publication of stolen data. The group's leak site publishes victim names and exfiltrated data as leverage.

Data source: This incident record is sourced from public ransomware group leak site disclosures aggregated via the ransomware.live API. Disclosure date reflects when the victim was published on the leak site, which may differ from the initial date of compromise. This platform does not publish or link to stolen data. Last data update: Aug 6, 2026 12:00 UTC.
