About the Osiris group

Osiris is a ransomware-as-a-service operation first observed in November 2025 that uses a Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) technique to disable endpoint detection tools before deploying hybrid ECC + AES-128-CTR encryption; Symantec researchers linked its operators to former INC ransomware affiliates. Osiris has listed 2 victims since December 2025.

Incident analysis

Sector context. Organisations in this sector hold valuable data and operational systems that ransomware groups seek to exploit for financial gain through encryption and data exfiltration.

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files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished.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