Incident analysis

Raqib was listed by Umbra ransomware, a group with 10 victims recorded in this database. The listing appeared on the group's leak site on October 7, 2026.

Sector context. Technology companies hold intellectual property, customer data, and source code — all highly valuable assets. A successful ransomware attack can also put downstream customers at risk through supply chain exposure.

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files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished.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

Which ransomware group attacked Raqib?

Raqib was attacked by Umbra ransomware. Umbra is one of the most active ransomware groups, having claimed 10 victims globally. The group typically employs a double-extortion model: encrypting the victim's files and threatening to publish stolen data.

When did the Raqib ransomware attack occur?

Ransomware groups typically exfiltrate data before encrypting systems and use the threat of publication to pressure victims. As a Technology organisation, Raqib likely held source code, intellectual property, and customer data.

How can organisations protect against Umbra attacks?

To defend against Umbra 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.
