Unverified threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing
Attribution, victim identity, and counts shown here derive from kawa4096's public extortion-blog claims, aggregated by ransomware.live. They have not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat them as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.
According to ransomware.live, the group claims:
Kawa4096 is a ransomware group that emerged in June 2025, targeting multinational corporations across finance, education, and services sectors primarily in the US and Japan, using partial-encryption (25% of each file chunk) with Salsa20 and a leak site styled after Akira's retro terminal aesthetic, claiming at least 11 victims.
