ThreatAI Analysis

Compiled from this incident record and the threat intelligence profile for Anubis. Figures and technique mappings are quoted from the source data, not inferred.

About the Anubis group

Anubis is a ransomware-as-a-service group active since December 2024 that targets healthcare, engineering, construction, and professional services sectors, offering affiliates a flexible revenue split model and an optional destructive "wipe mode" alongside standard encryption. Anubis has listed 101 victims since February 2025.

Incident Analysis

EXCEED Energy was targeted by Anubis ransomware, one of the most active ransomware groups in our database with 106 confirmed victims globally. The attack was disclosed on May 27, 2026, when EXCEED Energy appeared on the group's dark web leak site.

Sector context: Energy sector attacks can have critical infrastructure implications. Ransomware on operational technology (OT) networks can disrupt power generation and distribution, elevating the urgency of recovery.

Anubis 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.

How can organisations protect against Anubis attacks?

To defend against Anubis 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.
