About the Benzona group

Benzona is a financially motivated ransomware group that emerged in late 2024, targeting small to mid-sized organizations across manufacturing, healthcare, technology, and hospitality sectors using double-extortion tactics — encrypting files while exfiltrating data and threatening publication via a Tor-based leak site. Benzona has listed 14 victims since November 2025.

Incident Analysis

suzuki-ploiesti.ro was targeted by Benzona ransomware, one of the most active ransomware groups in our database with 14 confirmed victims globally. The attack was disclosed on November 26, 2025, when suzuki-ploiesti.ro appeared on the group's dark web leak site.

suzuki-ploiesti.ro is based in Romania , operating in the Manufacturing sector. Romania ranks #42 globally for ransomware attacks, with 62 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.

Benzona 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.
