Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Cl0p 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.

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

SEC 8-K / victim statement
