SafePay is a ransomware and data-extortion group first observed in mid-2021, known for a double-extortion model in which it encrypts victim systems and threatens to publish stolen data on its Tor-based leak site. Early vendor research described initial access through exposed remote-access services such as VPN and RDP, as well as SQL injection, though no specific CVEs are consistently attributed in public reporting. The group has primarily targeted small and mid-sized organizations across Europe and North America, reportedly avoiding CIS-region victims and high-profile targets. Attribution, country of origin, and the group's affiliate structure are not documented in detail in public sources. This dashboard recorded 10 leak-site posts in the 7 days ending 2026-09-09, indicating continued activity.

Tactics & tooling
  • Double extortion: encrypts systems and threatens publication of exfiltrated data on a Tor leak site
  • Initial access via exposed VPN/remote-access infrastructure and RDP (early vendor reporting)
  • SQL-injection-based access described in 2021 vendor research
  • Data exfiltration prior to encryption, reportedly using legitimate file-transfer/exfiltration utilities
  • Per-victim negotiation rather than standardized public ransom demands
  • Targets predominantly small and mid-sized businesses with no single sector focus
  • Maintains a low public profile with limited dedicated malware analysis
