Mortar is an emerging ransomware threat actor observed in 2026. It was identified as one of several newly appearing groups in the contemporary ransomware ecosystem, alongside other new entrants such as Leak Bazaar, ICARUS, and PayDay. High-confidence public reporting currently supports only limited attribution and tradecraft detail for Mortar. Its inclusion among newly emerged ransomware groups indicates involvement in extortion-oriented intrusion activity, but specific victimology, geographic focus, operational tempo, malware lineage, affiliate structure, and technical procedures have not been established at high confidence. No reliable evidence in the available facts supports attribution to a nation state or identifies confirmed sub-groups or additional aliases beyond Mortar.
