Listing text
Good afternoon, We have no further comments to make regarding our PSA statement we released the other day. Our organisation is highly confident we have achieved our goal and our intentions we repeatedly made clear to journalists and in our public statements. There is 5 days remaining still. We have no comment yet regarding what we will do if the victim entity does not comply with our kind request . Nonetheless, we got what we wanted and we have a business to run and operate as usual. We will not be responding to any press inquiries about this and we will not be sharing updates about other datasets we have that we did not yet disclose to the public. We reiterate and want to assiduously emphasise we are NOT extorting the victim in question, this is NOT financially motivated and this is NOT a ransom. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. This is now old news. Regards, SH | Updated: 24 Sep 2026

What does this listing mean?
Ransomware groups move data out of the organization before encrypting systems and threaten to publish it if the ransom is not paid. This method is called double extortion.
The listing shows that the group claims to have targeted the organization. Whether the data was published is shown by the later status of the listing.
What should you do if your organization is listed on a leak site?
- Record the listing and any published sample files; do not visit the leak site from the corporate network.
- Isolate affected systems and preserve logs without deleting them.
- Determine which data left the organization; if personal data is involved, review notification obligations with your legal team.
- Make any decision about the ransom demand together with legal, management and incident response.
- Do not bring systems back online before the attacker’s entry point is closed.
