On September 19, 2024, Confidence Group, a major Bangladeshi conglomerate, appeared on the leak site of the RansomHub ransomware group. The listing states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack on the company, which operates in infrastructure, power, cement, engineering, and related sectors. Anyone whose personal information appears in those files — employees, contractors, customers, or business partners — now faces immediate exposure.

Primary Disclosure Details
The RansomHub leak page, hosted on the Tor network, lists Confidence Group as a victim and claims that a substantial volume of internal files was taken. The disclosure does not quantify the number of affected records, nor does it specify exactly which types of documents were allegedly stolen. It simply states that data was exfiltrated following a ransomware deployment. The listing includes a sample of the allegedly stolen material and sets an implicit deadline for any potential negotiation, after which the group typically begins public release of the remaining archive. Public reporting on RansomHub indicates this pattern is standard for the operation: initial access, data theft, encryption where possible, and then extortion backed by the threat of full disclosure.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a large employer or service provider in a developing economy like Bangladesh is hit, the ripple effects reach ordinary people. Internal files from a conglomerate often contain employee records, vendor contracts, customer invoices, banking details, and correspondence that can include names, national identification numbers, addresses, phone numbers, and financial information. If your data is among the exfiltrated material, it can be used for identity theft, loan fraud, or targeted phishing. Families in Bangladesh and those with ties to Bangladeshi businesses are particularly exposed because local data-protection enforcement is still maturing and recovery options can be limited.
September 19, 2024 marks the moment this claimed breach moved from private negotiation to public threat. Once a ransomware group publishes a victim, the clock accelerates. Partial samples are already visible on the leak site, increasing the chance that your information could be indexed, sold, or weaponized by other criminals within days or weeks.
