ELC Electroconsult SpA Listed by Everest Ransomware Group

On December 16, 2025, Italian engineering firm ELC Electroconsult SpA appeared on the leak site of the Everest ransomware group. The company, which works on major hydroelectric, renewable energy, and dam projects worldwide, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. While the exact number of individuals whose information may have been exposed remains unknown, anyone whose personal or employment records were stored in the firm’s systems could now be at risk.

Already exposed?

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.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates that Everest actors gained access to ELC Electroconsult’s network, encrypted systems, and then exfiltrated files before publishing a sample on their leak site. The data consists primarily of internal files rather than a structured database of customer records. No confirmed total of affected records or specific categories such as names, addresses, or financial details has been publicly quantified. The listing appeared on an onion address tracked by ransomware.live, the standard venue where Everest posts victims who do not pay the demanded ransom.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When an engineering consultancy that has worked on large public infrastructure projects is breached, employee records, contractor agreements, project partner details, and correspondence can end up in criminal hands. If you or a family member have ever worked at ELC Electroconsult, supplied services to one of its projects, or had personal information included in bid documents or HR files, that information may now be available to identity thieves. Credential leaks from such incidents frequently cascade into account takeovers on unrelated services where the same email and password were reused.

Children’s gaming accounts are especially vulnerable in these chains because parents often reuse work email addresses or passwords across both professional and family logins. A single exposed work document can therefore link a parent’s identity to a child’s online handle, opening the door to harassment or further extortion.

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.
