What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates that frag claims successful data extraction from CGR’s corporate systems. The posted samples contain corporate internal documents and agreements, HR files, customer and employee contact lists, financial statements, and personnel records that include passport scans. The exact number of individuals affected remains unknown, but the presence of passport images and personnel files means any current or former employee, as well as certain customers, could have sensitive personal data now circulating on criminal forums.
