Dire Wolf, also tracked as direwolf and dire_wolf, is a financially motivated ransomware threat group. It has been associated with a high volume of ransomware victim claims during 2026, including 43 organizations in August and 21 claims in one weekly reporting period. Reported and claimed victims span the United States, Great Britain, Malaysia, South Africa, Indonesia, Brazil, Sweden, and Chile. Targeted organizations include transportation and logistics providers, a maritime port operator, healthcare and care-service organizations, financial-services and insurance firms, industrial machinery businesses, and software companies. Available reporting does not establish the group’s country of origin, malware implementation, initial-access methods, encryption behavior, data-theft activity, or extortion workflow. Many victim attributions are based on criminal-group claims and may not have been independently verified.
