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

sbiav.com SBI Audiovisuel is a Quebec AV company founded in 1991 (HQ in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, ~11 staff), doing corporate event production — sound, lighting, video, webcasting — plus its signature niche: live streaming of surgical operations for medical training. It deploys its own CASTER mobile system and claims exclusive North American rights to France's Medinbox tech, which is used at hospitals like Mount Sinai NY; note SBI is an integrator, not the tech's manufacturer. Public activity runs from 2018 through 2026 (US tours, medical congresses, hiring), with no lawsuits or scam signs found. Revenue is not disclosed — third-party estimates vary ($1–5M range), all unverified. Weak spots: no independent client reviews, no published certificates, and the site blurs its own brand with Medinbox's. For Quebec/Canada corporate events or live-surgery broadcasts it's a credible pick; for critical projects, verify team size, redundancy plans, and patient-data handling in writing.
