ThreatAI Analysis

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

About the Meow group

Meow emerged in 2022 (resurfacing aggressively in 2024), initially operating as a RaaS using the Conti v2 codebase before transitioning to a data-extortion-only model — selling stolen data rather than encrypting files — with a heavy focus on US healthcare and medical research organizations. Meow has listed 145 victims since September 2023.

Incident Analysis

Modulkit was targeted by Meow ransomware, one of the most active ransomware groups in our database with 130 confirmed victims globally. The attack was disclosed on August 27, 2024, when Modulkit appeared on the group's dark web leak site.

Modulkit is based in Spain , operating in the Manufacturing sector. Spain ranks #9 globally for ransomware attacks, with 425 victims in our database.

Sector context: Manufacturing companies are frequently targeted because production downtime directly translates to financial loss. Ransomware operators exploit this time-sensitivity to demand higher ransoms and faster payment.

Meow 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.
