Emirates National Group Listed by The Gentlemen Ransomware Group

On February 12, 2026, the ransomware group known as thegentlemen added Emirates National Group to its public leak site, claiming that internal files had been exfiltrated from the Abu Dhabi-based transport and mobility company.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates that Emirates National Group, which operates car rentals, limousine services, taxi fleets, and public bus systems across the United Arab Emirates, suffered a ransomware intrusion. The attackers claim to have stolen internal documents and posted proof on their onion-site leak page hosted at tezwsse5czllksjb7cwp65rvnk4oobmzti2znn42i43bjdfd2prqqkad.onion, as tracked by ransomware.live.

Exact victim count remains unknown at the time of writing, and the precise data types exposed have not been independently verified beyond the group’s assertion of “internal files.” No customer personal data or payment records have been explicitly described in available screenshots or announcements. The listing appeared on the leak site with a typical extortion countdown clock, although the final deadline has not been publicly disclosed in secondary coverage.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company that handles daily transport for thousands of residents has its internal systems breached, the ripple effects can reach ordinary people. Ride-booking details, driver records, contract documents, and employee contact lists often contain names, phone numbers, addresses, and sometimes passport copies. Once those records leave the company’s control, they can surface in unexpected places months or years later.

Any data leak increases the chance that someone can link your personal information to your daily routines. A phone number tied to a taxi booking can be used to impersonate you, reset other accounts, or sell your details on underground forums. For families, this risk extends to children whose names or school-run transport records might appear in the same datasets.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk

Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one company. Attackers frequently chain stolen data together: an email from one breach, a phone number from another, and a home address from a third. These connections create a complete profile that enables targeted doxxing, SIM-swapping, or account takeovers. Credential leaks of this nature often cascade into gaming platforms, where children’s accounts become entry points because parents reuse passwords across work, personal, and family services.

Available reporting describes how initial access obtained through phishing or remote desktop vulnerabilities leads to broad network exfiltration. The stolen files are then used both for immediate extortion and for long-term resale, increasing the window during which your information can be exploited.

Thegentlemen Group’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes thegentlemen as a ransomware operation that emerged in late 2024. The group has listed multiple mid-sized companies across logistics, manufacturing, and professional services. Their typical playbook begins with initial access via compromised credentials or exploited remote services, followed by deployment of ransomware, exfiltration of internal documents, and dual extortion: demanding payment to prevent file encryption and threatening to publish the stolen data on their leak site if the ransom is not paid.

Previous victims have reported demands ranging from tens of thousands to several million dollars, with leak-site postings used as leverage when negotiations stall. The group maintains an active onion site and frequently updates it with new victims on a weekly basis according to trackers such as ransomware.live.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, usernames, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what this claimed breach may have exposed about you.
• Rotate any password you used at Emirates National Group or its affiliated booking portals anywhere else it is reused, and switch on two-factor authentication through an authenticator app rather than SMS.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next time your information appears it is caught within hours instead of months.
• Cover the entire household with DoxxScan family protection, which includes children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same emails, phones, or addresses used for family transport bookings.
• Let remediation specialists handle the follow-up work, including sending takedown requests to data brokers and monitoring for resale of any leaked documents.

The incident underscores a simple reality: data stolen in corporate attacks can affect anyone who interacted with the company, often long after the headlines fade. Starting with a clear picture of your current exposure and putting persistent monitoring and specialist remediation in place gives you and your family the best practical defense against the chains of identity abuse that follow these leaks. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers exactly that combination — continuous monitoring across 13.1 billion+ breach records and more than 100 platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, hands-on remediation by specialists, and full household coverage that explicitly protects children’s gaming accounts.
