eehc.gov.eg Listed by Devman Ransomware Group

On July 15, 2025, the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company website eehc.gov.eg appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group known as devman, with the attackers demanding a $2.27 million ransom after exfiltrating internal files.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates that devman claims to have breached the Egyptian government-linked electricity provider and stolen sensitive internal documents. The listing on the group’s dark-web leak page includes a sample of the allegedly stolen data, though the exact number of people whose personal information was exposed remains unknown. Available reporting describes the incident as a classic ransomware double-extortion attack in which the group first encrypts systems and then threatens to publish stolen files unless the ransom is paid.

Internal files were allegedly exfiltrated, according to the leak-site posting. No independent verification of the data volume or specific record types has been published, but government agencies and utility providers routinely hold names, national ID numbers, addresses, contact details, billing records, and employee payroll information.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a utility company that supplies electricity to millions of households is breached, the ripple effects reach ordinary families. If your name, address, phone number, or government ID appears in the stolen files, criminals can use that information to file fraudulent accounts, impersonate you to utilities or banks, or sell it to other threat actors. Children’s records held by a family-linked account can also be exposed, creating long-term risks that grow quietly until identity theft or harassment begins.
