Incident analysis

Semilab was listed by Dan0n ransomware, a group with 33 victims recorded in this database. The listing appeared on the group's leak site on April 25, 2024.

Semilab is based in United States and operates in the Technology sector. United States ranks #1 worldwide for ransomware disclosures, with 9,975 victims in this database.

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.

Dan0n 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files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished.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.
