Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Thegentlemen 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

webbelectric.com Webb Electric Company of Florida (founded 1957, Cantonment/Pensacola, FL) is a veteran-owned specialty electrical contractor focused on underground power distribution from 600V to 35kV, substation replacements, medium-voltage upgrades and airfield lighting systems. It works almost exclusively for the U.S. government — Navy, Air Force, Army Corps of Engineers, VA, USDA and FDA — with 1,000+ federal projects completed nationwide (including Cuba and Hawaii) and roughly $96.6 million in defense contracts awarded between 2000 and 2020. Led by founder Jerry T. Webb and his children (President Daniel Webb, VP/Treasurer Melinda Schwartz), the company books $10–15 million a year and self-performs 98% of its work with its own crews. Landmark projects include a $16.7M runway lighting overhaul at Scott AFB and $15.4M in electrical work at Sheppard AFB. It competes on "best value" past performance and a strong safety record (OSHA-trained crews).
