About Ransomware.live

What is Ransomware.live?

Ransomware.live is a free, independent, and continuously updated threat intelligence platform tracking ransomware groups and their victims worldwide. It passively monitors ransomware groups' Data Leak Sites (DLS), aggregates publicly disclosed victim data, and presents it in a structured, actionable format — no paywall, no ads, no corporate backing.

The platform serves cybersecurity professionals, journalists, researchers, and incident responders who need reliable, real-time situational awareness of the ransomware landscape. It does not host or distribute any leaked data, and does not engage in speculation or intrusion — only what is already publicly visible on the internet.

How It Works

Ransomware gangs run their own websites, usually hidden on the dark web, where they publicly name the companies they claim to have attacked. Ransomware.live reads those public announcements for you, around the clock, in three steps.

STEP 1
Watch the gangs' sites

Several times a day, the platform visits every known leak site and keeps a copy of the page, much like photographing a public noticeboard. Nothing is downloaded from the victims, and no stolen files are ever collected.

STEP 2
Read what was published

Every gang presents its announcements differently, so each one has its own small reader that extracts the facts: which company was named, by whom, when, and what the attackers claim. Nothing is guessed or added.

STEP 3
Add the missing context

A bare company name says little, so each claim is completed with country and business sector, website details, a capture of the gang's post, and what is known about the group's habits and tools.

The result is a single, searchable timeline of who was attacked, by which group, and when, available on the website, through the API, or as a feed.
