Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Black Basta 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.

Post text · scraped from the leak site

The Spooner Risk Control family of companies was established in 1975, when Tom Spooner uprooted his youngest son from his bedroom so it could be turned into an office. What started as a labor relations and HR consulting firm has grown to offer solutions for many of the challenges that employers face today.Spooner’s journey into workers’ compensation started in 1981, when a client asked Tom to attend an Industrial Commission hearing on behalf of their company. The client felt they’d paid more than enough for this particular workers’ comp claim, but the Hearing Officer didn’t consider that a valid argument. However, the Hearing Officer suggested that Tom read the Ohio Revised Code Workers’ Compensation book, since it was clear he truly wanted to protect and help the businesses he works with. Nearly 50 years later, that remains the goal of every company under the Spooner umbrella. In 2017, Tom’s grandson Joe Spooner stepped into the role of president to ensure the company’s values continue to align with those ideals.SITE: https://spoonerinc.com Address 28605 Ranney ParkwayWestlake, Ohio 44145Phone: [REDACTED-PHONE] ext. 153
