Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Interlock 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

ECF, Inc., a piping and insulation contractor specializing in the design and construction of terminals for the transshipment of liquid hydrocarbons such as asphalt, crude oil, and renewable fuels, has completely failed to ensure the security of its systems and is unwilling to compromise. Therefore, we are providing you with access to confidential information (proprietary pipeline designs, CAD drawings, customer lists, pricing models, financial data, employee information, and trade secrets), which violates the Complaints and Abuse Act (CFAA) and state civil liability laws and may result in injunctions, damages, fines, mandatory notices, class actions, loss of competitive advantage, and possibly termination of operations.
