TecMundo reported that ransomware/data-extortion group Dragonforce listed Fundao Getulio Vargas (FGV) as a purported victim and claimed a compromise of 1.52 TB of data, posting images of documents as proof and setting a countdown (typical extortion deadline) for publication if ransom is not paid. TecMundo said it reviewed sample documents that appeared to include internship registration forms, personnel/event records, and project proposals. FGV responded that it had experienced service/provider instability that was resolved and that it had no confirmation of system intrusion or data exfiltration, stating that anonymous dark web postings were not proof.
