Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Ransomhouse 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

Our purpose is to deliver the highest value for our clients to help them achieve their vision by being their best guide and partner. But, what is a partner? What is a guide? And in which order should they occur? A partner is defined as one who takes part in an undertaking with others. A guide is a person who assists others to reach a destination by accompanying them. HBL was started in 1973 with a commitment to provide excellent client service. But over the last 40 years we have learned that providing excellent service isn’t enough. Clients expect excellent service. We wanted to do better. And so the concept of being our clients’ best partner and guide was developed.
