Unverified threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing
Attribution, victim identity, and counts shown here derive from yurei'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:
Yurei is a ransomware group first observed in September 2025 whose payload is a minimally modified fork of the open-source Prince-Ransomware, using ChaCha20 encryption and propagating across SMB shares, primarily targeting food manufacturing, transportation, and IT sectors in Sri Lanka and Nigeria.
