Safepay is a ransomware group that uses an extortion-style model by exfiltrating data from breached organizations and publicly releasing it on the dark web. The group has claimed more than 500 victims, with the most-affected sectors including Manufacturing, Technology, Education, Healthcare, and Business Services, and the countries hit most often being the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Recent reporting shows a pattern of data theft followed by public data release on the dark web, illustrated by the attack on Smile Team Orthodontics in which staff details, addresses, and patient payment plans were published.
