Financial interests only. We do not provide or work with affiliate programs, no collaborations either. The requested payment must be made within a specified time frame, otherwise the price may be increased, we will begin to publish the data we have about your company and notify the company's customers and suppliers. Charitable, non-profit, and medical institutions are only hacked if they have reputation gaps known from open sources or discovered in company data. However, this is only data extraction; live support systems are not affected. Data is always destroyed after payment; we do not attack the same company twice. Interesting fact: once, the total amount of claims against a breached company exceeded its entire capitalization. We know how to create trouble, though it is in our mutual interest to avoid it. To make the data leak more valuable, the most important information is published in a separate folder for each company called “parsed” and is also published on darkweb forums.

70% of successful ransomware attacks use remote encryption (Microsoft, 2024): files on protected servers are encrypted over the network from a device the attacker controls. Read our remote encryption briefing →

Sector, country and ransom-demand figures are SecuritySnares estimates made with a language model. Leak-site listings are claims by threat actors and are not independently verified; leak-site victims are never named unless they have disclosed the incident themselves. News headlines are the publishers' own reporting, shown as written and linked to the original. Methodology
