On July 29, 2024, the National Social Security Fund of Cameroon (CNPS) appeared on the leak site operated by the spacebears ransomware group.

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.

A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

Details from the Leak-Site Listing

The spacebears leak site entry states that CNPS Cameroun suffered a ransomware intrusion in which attackers successfully removed internal files. The disclosure does not quantify the number of affected records, specify the exact data types beyond “internal files,” or list any ransom demand. It simply presents the victim organization alongside a countdown timer and samples of allegedly stolen material. No official breach notification from CNPS itself has surfaced publicly at the time of writing, leaving the precise scope of the exposure unknown to outsiders.

July 29, 2024 marks the first public confirmation of the incident through the ransomware group’s own platform. The listing sits on a Tor onion address and is aggregated on ransomware.live, the primary channel through which most observers learned of the claim.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

CNPS manages sensitive personal information for hundreds of thousands of Cameroonian workers and retirees: national identification numbers, employment histories, salary data, banking details for pension payments, and family records tied to benefit claims. When such a central government body loses control of internal files, the information can quickly move from criminal hands into broader underground markets.

Unverified claim — what this report is

This page documents a public listing on a ransomware/extortion group’s leak site, tracked via public threat-intelligence sources. A listing is the attacker’s claim. GalaxyWarden aggregates and reports such claims; we have not independently verified that a breach occurred, what data (if any) was taken, or the accuracy of anything the group asserts, and the named organisation has not necessarily confirmed the incident. Sections above describe what the listing shows and the group’s documented history — not verified findings about the named organisation. If you represent this organisation and believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us and we’ll review it promptly.

Editorial & sourcing policy

GalaxyWarden is a breach-monitoring service and news aggregator. We do not exfiltrate, host, purchase, or redistribute stolen data. Breach information is compiled from publicly accessible sources and threat-intelligence platforms, and is reported as claims attributed to their source. We promptly correct or remove material shown to be inaccurate — see our content & takedown policy or write to support@galaxywarden.com.
