Window: past 24–48 hours. Degraded data-source notice: RansomLook
/api/postsreturned 403 Forbidden from the sandbox egress today, and RSS was likewise unreachable. The victim data below was reconstructed via WebSearch from ransomware.live and leak-tracking sites; it is not a complete leak-site snapshot, covers only the named victims that could be retrieved, and the counts are lower bounds.
Overview
- New posts (visible sample): 5+(the actual leak-site total for the day is higher; API restrictions prevented a full pull)
- Groups involved: 3(LockBit5, Akira, Fulcrumsec)
- Watchlist hits: 5(multiple hits across group, sector, and geography)
- Most active: LockBit5(still leading, continuing the concentrated dump from 6/11)

Anomalies / trend notes
- LockBit5 remains highly productive: after the concentrated dump on 6/11 it still leads the leak sites, and its comeback posture looks firmly established; watch its naming cadence and the geographic distribution of its victims.
- Critical infrastructure / Chinese-linked ownership: LockBit5 named Shougang Peru (Shougang Hierro Peru)— steel and mining critical infrastructure with a Chinese parent company. The intrusion is estimated to trace back to 5/20, so the leak lagged the compromise significantly.
- Education and healthcare both under pressure: a single window produced GSG (Singapore international schools), the Delano school district, and Centre Ellipse (healthcare) — continuing education and healthcare as high-frequency ransomware targets (healthcare led May with 28 incidents).
- Data gap: because of the RansomLook API restriction, full sector/geography statistics are not possible today; the table above is a lower-bound sample of what could be retrieved, so do not read it as a decline in the day's total leak-site volume.
