Dragonforce ransomware group
Dragonforce is one of the extortion operations we watch continuously. This page covers what is known about the group and the current state of its leak site, which we last saw change 17h ago.
Who they are
DragonForce is a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) group first identified in late 2023. Originally linked to hacktivist activity, the group pivoted to financially motivated operations by early 2024. Since then, it has accelerated into a highly organized cartel-like network, providing customizable payloads to affiliates, a sophisticated affiliate portal, and shared infrastructure for leak sites and campaigns. The group has targeted a wide range of sectors globally, including major UK retailers such as M&S, Harrods, and Co-op, along with organizations in government, logistics, and manufacturing. Its operations are known for strategic branding flexibility, enabling affiliates to operate under their own labels using DragonForce’s backend services.
Current status
Dragonforce's leak site is answering our checks. That does not mean the group is actively posting — plenty of sites stay up for months with nothing new on them — but the infrastructure is live.

Which organisations this group has named, and when, is part of the SINON platform rather than this page. Create an account to search it, or to be told automatically if a name you care about turns up.
Sectors targeted
This group does not state an industry on its site, so we have nothing reliable to report. Most crews are opportunistic rather than sector-specific in any case — they hit what they can reach.
Watching for your name
If Dragonforce posts your company, a supplier or a subsidiary, you want to hear it from us rather than from a journalist. SINON checks these sites continuously and alerts on the names you give it.
