Full breach record for Alcoholics Anonymous →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.

aa.org zoominfo.com/c/alcoholics-anonymous/71374 lcoholics Anonymous is a worldwide fellowship of over 2 million members recovering from alcoholism, founded on June 10, 1935, in Akron, Ohio by Bill W. and Dr. Bob, and based on the "12 Steps and 12 Traditions" outlined in its 1939 basic text, the "Big Book" — now translated into 70+ languages. aa.org is the official site of the General Service Office (New York) serving the U.S./Canada, with content in English, Spanish, and French, offering free literature (PDF, audio, and ASL versions), a searchable Big Book, meeting finders, and the Meeting Guide app. The fellowship operates in ~180 countries with 123,000+ groups; its 2022 membership survey (6,000 respondents) showed an average age of 52 and 44% with over 10 years of sobriety. A.A. is an "upside-down" organization: ultimate authority rests with autonomous groups, leaders are rotating "trusted servants," and it is fully self-supporting accepting money only from members $7,5k person/year

Compliance clock
Not assessable
Evidence ladder
Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.
Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.
Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.
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.
