About the Donutleaks group

Donut Leaks (D0nut) is a data-extortion group active since August 2022 that developed its own ransomware encryptor, linked to attacks on Greece's DESFA gas company and Continental, believed to be an affiliate of multiple RaaS operations who pivoted to running an independent extortion platform.

Sector context. Organisations in this sector hold valuable data and operational systems that ransomware groups seek to exploit for financial gain through encryption and data exfiltration.

Donutleaks 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files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished.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.
