Dunghill ransomware group
Dunghill 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 1y ago.
Who they are
Dunghill Leak is the publicly branded data leak site (DLS) operated by the Dark Angels ransomware group, established circa January 2023. Rather than a standalone encryption threat, it serves as the disclosure and extortion platform where stolen victim data is published if ransom demands are ignored. Dark Angels is known for highly targeted “big game hunting” tactics, exfiltrating tens to hundreds of terabytes of corporate data, often without encrypting systems. Victims include major industry players—like Johnson Controls, Sabre, Sysco, and a Fortune 50 firm—which reportedly paid a record-breaking $75 million USD ransom. The leak site is complemented by a mirrored Telegram channel for distributing victim announcements and maintaining negotiation traffic.
Current status
Dunghill's leak site is not answering. Sites go dark for infrastructure trouble, a deliberate quiet period, or a takedown, and a good number return weeks later under the same name, so the entry stays on the list either way.

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 Dunghill 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.
