Raaga
December 15, 2025
•[ data leak, unauthorized access, credential stuffing ]
Raaga confirmed that an unauthorized party accessed a legacy database and that the extracted user data was later advertised for sale on an underground hacking forum during December 2025. Reporting described the exposed dataset as affecting more than 10.2 million user accounts and including personal and account-related fields such as names, email addresses, usernames, hashed passwords, and account creation dates, with partial location data in some cases. The company stated it secured the relevant access points tied to the exposed system, reset passwords for impacted accounts, and implemented additional monitoring while working with cybersecurity specialists and notifying law enforcement. Even without payment data, the combination of emails and password hashes creates elevated risk of credential stuffing, targeted phishing, and account takeover.
Middlesex Sheriff's Office
January 1, 2025
•[ data breach, protected health information, HIPAA ]
The Middlesex Sheriffs Office reported that a security breach occurred in January 2025 and that a comprehensive investigation (with state/federal law enforcement and private cybersecurity vendors) determined on November 19, 2025 that the incident involved unauthorized access to protected health information. The exposed PHI may have included names, home addresses, dates of birth, diagnoses, and other general health information related to individuals who may have received medical care through the Sheriffs Office. Public reporting indicated the breach represented a HIPAA-related incident; the organization did not specify the number of affected individuals in the public notice and did not disclose the initial access vector or whether any data was exfiltrated beyond unauthorized viewing/access.
Hyatt
January 19, 2026
•[ ransomware, data leak, double-extortion ]
A ransomware group calling itself NightSpire publicly claimed on January 19, 2026 that it attacked Hyatt and exfiltrated 48.5GB of data originating from the Hyatt Place Chelsea New York hotel. The actors published samples that appeared to include internal company documents such as invoices, expense reports containing employee names, contact information, signatures, and partner company data, and researchers noted the sample list suggested possible exposure of employee credentials for internal tools (raising risk of further compromise). The posting indicated a free download link, consistent with double-extortion tactics where stolen data is leaked if negotiations fail. At the time of reporting, Hyatt had not publicly confirmed the breach and the claims remained unverified by the company.
At least one Iranian consumer
January 20, 2026
•[ Android banking trojan, Remote-access trojan (RAT), Ransomware ]
Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs (CRIL) reported discovering deVixor, an advanced Android banking trojan that has remote-access (RAT) capabilities and can also deploy a ransomware-style device lock screen. The campaign explicitly targets Iranian users, distributing malicious APKs via phishing websites posing as legitimate automotive businesses and luring victims with heavily discounted vehicle offers. Once installed, deVixor prompts victims to grant high-risk permissions (contacts, SMS, media files, accessibility service), then harvests SMS data to extract banking information such as account balances, OTPs, bank alerts, credit card details, and crypto transaction data. It also uses WebView-based JavaScript injection to load real banking sites inside a hidden WebView and steal login credentials during authentication. In some cases, operators activate a ransom overlay that locks the device and demands payment to a cryptocurrency wallet. Cyble said it identified 700+ deVixor samples since October 2025 and observed indicators (Persian artifacts, targeted-app lists, Telegram infrastructure) suggesting strong familiarity with Irans financial ecosystem.

January 19, 2026
•[ DDoS attack, service disruption, cyberattack ]
Czech authorities reported that the countrys public procurement portal was taken out of service by hackers on Monday, January 19, 2026, in an incident described as a DDoS attack. The Ministry for Regional Development stated the portal was brought back online later that same day and the situation continued to be assessed. Officials emphasized that actual public procurement submissions are handled in a separate system that remained functional, limiting downstream operational disruption primarily to portal availability and access to related information services rather than halting procurement processes entirely.
Venezuelan Power Grid
January 3, 2026
•[ cyber-physical disruption, critical infrastructure, state-led operation ]
Reporting described a U.S. cyber operation on January 3, 2026 that allegedly plunged parts of Venezuelas capital into darkness by disrupting electric power systems and also interfered with military air-defense radar as part of a broader U.S. raid/capture operation. Sources cited in public reporting characterized it as a high-visibility use of offensive cyber capabilities designed to create a temporary but precise disruption window, including the ability to restore systems afterward. The incident is best coded as a state-led cyber-physical disruption targeting critical infrastructure and defense-related systems in support of an operational objective; public reporting did not provide victim counts, exact affected assets, or detailed dwell time.
ICE List site
January 13, 2026
•[ denial-of-service attack, data leak, personal information ]
A website known as ICE List, operated by Netherlands-based immigration activist Dominick Skinner and described as dedicated to leaking personal information about U.S. immigration and border personnel, went offline following a denial-of-service attack on the evening of January 13, 2026. Reporting said the outage occurred shortly after media coverage that Skinner planned to publish additional personal data allegedly obtained from a whistleblower. Skinner stated it was only possible to speculate on who directed the attack but claimed a large amount of traffic appeared to come from Russia, consistent with bot traffic intended to overwhelm the site and disrupt access.
Colombian Justice Minister Andres Idarraga
August 1, 2025
•[ spyware, Pegasus, surveillance ]
Colombias justice minister stated that forensic evidence indicates his phone was hacked using Israeli Pegasus spyware during the second half of 2025 while he was investigating alleged corruption in the military. He alleged the operation was ordered through the Defense Ministry using state counterintelligence structures and confidential funds. According to his statement, investigators found his phone was taken over more than 8,700 times and that 2.3 GB of data were downloaded, including sensitive corruption complaints, and that the camera/microphone were illicitly activated on numerous occasions. The incident is characterized as a targeted spyware intrusion against a senior government official with alleged state involvement.
Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP)
January 12, 2026
•[ DDoS, botnet, distributed denial-of-service ]
OCCRP reported its website was targeted by a sophisticated distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack beginning on Monday and still ongoing as of January 13, 2026. The organization said the assault appeared to involve a large international botnet and adaptive tactics, suggesting a coordinated effort with a human element responding to defenses. Recent infrastructure upgrades reportedly prevented a complete outage; however, readers could experience slower access and additional verification steps designed to block automated traffic. OCCRP stated the source of the attack had not been identified and framed the incident as an attempt to make its investigative reporting inaccessible by overwhelming online services rather than compromising internal data systems.

January 13, 2026
•[ cyberattack, operational disruption, healthcare ]
AZ Monica hospital in Antwerp reported a cyberattack discovered around 6:30 a.m. after staff observed a serious IT failure. As a precaution, the hospital shut down all servers across both campuses (Deurne and Antwerp/Harmonie), and law enforcement opened an investigation with the cyber crime unit on site. Because clinicians could not access electronic patient records, the hospital postponed non-urgent care and maintained emergency care at a reduced level. Reporting stated at least 70 planned operations were cancelled, roughly 70 patients were sent home, and seven patients were transferred to other hospitals as a precaution. Public reporting did not confirm encryption, ransom demands, or data theft, focusing primarily on operational disruption and patient-care impact.

University of Hawaii Cancer Center
August 31, 2025
•[ ransomware, data breach, Social Security numbers ]
The University of Hawaii Cancer Center disclosed an August 2025 ransomware incident in which attackers gained unauthorized access to its network, encrypted files, and stole research files containing patient-related information. Reporting indicates the intrusion was discovered on or around August 31, 2025, after which affected servers were isolated and an investigation began. The Cancer Center stated its electronic medical record system was not impacted, but research datasets were affected and a subset of older records included Social Security numbers because they were historically used as identifiers in the 1990s. Due to the sensitivity of the data and the extent of encryption, the organization engaged external experts, obtained a decryption tool, and reported paying a ransom in exchange for a claimed promise by the attackers to delete stolen data, while continuing longer-term recovery and security hardening.
Santeda International B.V.
May 1, 2025
•[ data breach, credential leak, unencrypted data ]
Investigators reported a data breach affecting MyStake, a Curaao-licensed online casino operated by Santeda International B.V., tracing the exposure back to approximately May 2025. A PDF containing login credentials for 540 MyStake accounts was shared online, and specialists reportedly confirmed they could log into most accounts listed, indicating passwords were still valid long after the leak became known. Once logged in, auditors said they could view sensitive player details stored without encryption, including names, home addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and detailed transaction histories. Reporting alleged that users were not notified for more than eight months and that MyStake did not enforce password resets or suspend compromised accounts during that period, increasing risk of account takeover, fraud, and identity misuse.
