On June 5, 2025, the Ajman Department of Land and Real Estate Regulation in the United Arab Emirates appeared on the leak site of the Flocker ransomware group. Internal files were allegedly exfiltrated during a ransomware attack, and the department’s leadership received a public extortion demand on the dark web.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates the Ajman government entity’s data was listed on the Flocker leak portal at the onion address hosted via ransomware.live. The posting includes a message addressed “To The Leadership Of Ajman Department of Land & Real Estate Regulation,” claiming the target. Available reporting describes the incident as a ransomware attack in which attackers exfiltrated internal files before encrypting systems or threatening further exposure. The exact number of affected individuals remains unknown, and the specific types of records involved have not been detailed beyond the broad category of internal files. No public deadline for payment has been confirmed in open sources.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a government land and real estate department is breached, the personal information of ordinary residents is often exposed. Property records, identification numbers, addresses, contact details, and financial transaction data tied to home purchases or rentals can appear in the stolen files. If your family owns property, rents, or has interacted with land authorities in Ajman, your details may now sit in a ransomware actor’s hands. Once that data leaves official servers, it travels quickly through underground markets and can be used for identity theft, loan fraud, or targeted scams against you or your relatives.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications
Credential leaks and internal documents rarely stay isolated. A single exposed email, phone number, or government ID can be linked to your social-media handles, children’s school accounts, and family gaming profiles. Attackers chain these pieces together to build a complete picture of your household. Public reporting shows that information from real-estate records frequently surfaces in doxxing packages because addresses and ownership details provide physical-world anchors for online identities. Gaming accounts belonging to you or your children are especially vulnerable; the same password or recovery email reused from a government service can hand over those accounts within hours of a breach.
