Methodology & citation

The Nexus aggregates victims that ransomware and extortion groups publish on their dark-web leak sites. A “victim” is an organization a group has named; it reflects a claimed attack, not a verified breach, and groups sometimes re-post or exaggerate. Sector and country are classified per victim; some are unclassified and excluded from the sector and country lists. Counts are by leak-site posting date. The full, source-linked victim list and per-group profiles are on the live tracker.
