Leak-site claimThis record

Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.

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.
