About the Insomnia group

Insomnia is a data-theft and extortion group that emerged in October 2025, targeting primarily US-based healthcare organizations — stealing patient files and threatening public exposure rather than encrypting files — and avoiding former Soviet states, consistent with Russian-speaking cybercrime norms. Insomnia has listed 53 victims since February 2025.

Incident analysis

Praxis EMR was listed by Insomnia ransomware, a group with 59 victims recorded in this database. The listing appeared on the group's leak site on October 5, 2026.

Praxis EMR is based in United States and operates in the Healthcare sector. United States ranks #1 worldwide for ransomware disclosures, with 9,972 victims in this database.

Sector context. Healthcare organisations are high-value ransomware targets because patient data is extremely sensitive, regulatory penalties for breaches are severe, and operational downtime can threaten patient safety — all factors that increase ransom payment pressure.

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files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished.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