What the data says
Aurora ranks #71 of the 122 groups profiled here, with 57 claimed victims (0.3% of all claims we track).
Its earliest reliably dated claim in our data is 29 April 2026; the latest is 30 October 2026.
It posted 14 claims in the last 30 days, against 4 in the 30 days before. Small counts swing a lot and leak sites post in batches.
Its claims lean toward Manufacturing: 37% of its sector-labelled claims, against 18% across all groups (2.0× the usual share).
40% of its claims with a known country are in the United States.
Aurora activity, last 24 months
Claims per month, by the date our trackers first saw them, so batches can land late. We have almost no collection from June 2025 to March 2026: an empty stretch there means we weren't looking, not that the group was idle. The current month is partial.
Regions targeted
Sectors targeted
