Coinbase Cartel is a financially motivated cyber-extortion group that emerged in September 2025. Also tracked as coinbase_cartel and Storm-2981, it presents itself as a data-exfiltration-only operation: it steals victim data while purporting to leave victim systems available rather than deploying file-encrypting ransomware. The group publishes alleged victim listings and stolen material through a leak site to pressure organizations into payment. It has claimed more than 60 victims and has maintained a high volume of public extortion claims during 2026. Claimed targets span financial services, professional services, manufacturing, retail and e-commerce, food and consumer-product businesses, and technology companies. Reported victim organizations are located in the United States, Indonesia, Germany, China, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, South Korea, and Slovenia.
