GLOBAL Ransomware, also known as GLOBAL GROUP, is a financially motivated ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation that emerged in June 2025. The group operates a data-leak site and affiliate program, offering an administrative portal for payload management, decryptor delivery, and AI-assisted ransom negotiations. Its revenue model reportedly provides affiliates with the majority of ransom proceeds. GLOBAL has claimed victims in healthcare, manufacturing, public-sector, and broadcasting organizations. Its operations employ double extortion: affiliates exfiltrate data before encrypting victim systems and threaten public disclosure if negotiations fail. Reported demands have exceeded one million U.S. dollars, with short deadlines and escalating leak threats used to pressure victims. The malware is designed for cross-platform deployment against Windows systems, VMware ESXi environments, network-attached storage, and BSD-based systems. It supports Active Directory discovery and LDAP-based propagation, token impersonation, multithreaded encryption, partial encryption of large files, deletion of volume shadow copies, clearing of Windows event logs, and attempts to disable security products. Affiliates have used initial-access brokers, password-spraying tools targeting remote-access services, and phishing-delivered remote-access malware. GLOBAL has been operationally linked to the Mamona and BlackLock ransomware ecosystems through shared infrastructure patterns, malware artifacts, and use of a common criminal-forum alias.
