Incident analysis

Saplog Group was listed by Nova ransomware, a group with 194 victims recorded in this database. The listing appeared on the group's leak site on January 5, 2026.

Saplog Group is based in Albania and operates in the Transportation/Logistics sector. Albania ranks #137 worldwide for ransomware disclosures, with 3 victims in this database.

Sector context. Logistics companies are targeted because supply chain disruption has cascading effects on customers and partners, amplifying pressure to pay ransoms quickly to restore operations.

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files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished.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