Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Vect on its public extortion blog. It has not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat attribution and counts as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.

Leak-site claimThis record

Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.

Press / market report

Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.

State AG / regulator filing

Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.

SEC 8-K / victim statement

Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.

No regulatory filing corroborates this yet — it is the attacker's own assertion. Watch this entity to be notified the moment a filing corroborates or contradicts it.

According to ransomware.live, VECT is a RaaS group that launched its affiliate program in December 2025 with a five-tier revenue-sharing model and a formal partnership with BreachForums; its VECT 2.0 payload contains a critical encryption flaw that irreversibly destroys files larger than 128 KB rather than encrypting them.
