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.

magnetos.com.mx zoominfo.com/c/magnetos-y-refacciones-sa-de-cv/1288761434 Magnetos y Refacciones, S.A. de C.V. is a Mexican trading and service company founded in 1977 and headquartered in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Its core business is supplying magnet wire, bearings, insulating varnishes, electric motors, and spare parts for motor repair — wholesale and retail, serving customers across all 32 Mexican states. Its second key business is a nationwide network of authorized service centers performing warranty and post-warranty repair for Groupe SEB brands (Krups, T-Fal, Rowenta, Moulinex) and Taurus in 8–10 Mexican cities. The company employs around 129 people and is part of a small group operated by Corporación Rodaja. It also exports to Central America (mainly El Salvador), with about US$4.2 million in shipments over the last five years. Despite nearly 50 years on the market, it has virtually no digital presence — its website is an empty placeholder.
