Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Aurora 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

[design] Baresque Group — a respected commercial-interiors company headquartered in Perth, Australia, with offices in Dallas, Chicago, and Brussels. The exposed material includes: 100+ passport scans, 35 birth certificates, 60+ driver's licences, 50+ TFN declarations — the complete identity-theft toolkit for the entire workforce, spanning Australia, the US, and Europe. Plaintext credentials for every critical system — Microsoft 365, HR platform (Elmo Talent), remote-access gateway (LogMeIn), phone system (3CX), ERP (Jim2) — all in browser-export CSVs and an enterprise-wide Password_Listing.xls that had been sitting on a shared drive since at least 2017. 4 TLS private keys for customer-facing domains — enabling impersonation of the company's websites. 343 GB of product R&D — SolidWorks CAD files, manufacturing specifications, and product blueprints for Zintra acoustic panels, FUNC furniture, botton+gardiner wallcoverings, and Scribblr surfaces. The complete design library. Two years of board packs, financial reports, and cash-flow models — the company's entire strategic and financial position laid bare. Privileged legal documents — active subpoena files, sworn affidavit exhibits, Fair Work Australia tribunal filings, and settlement agreements with confidentiality clauses. Workers compensation medical records naming specific employees with diagnoses, treatment plans, and claim amounts.

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.
