If you are a customer of Ende, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

Ende was listed on Alphv's leak site. Alphv claims to have stolen internal data. This is the group's claim, not a confirmed finding.

On September 21, 2023, Angola’s state-owned electricity distributor ENDE-EP (Empresa Nacional de Distribuição de Electricidade) appeared on the leak site of the Alphv ransomware group. The listing states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack on the company’s corporate network. The number of records affected and the precise data types remain unknown; the disclosure simply states that files were taken and are now published for anyone to download.

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 582 companies.

Primary Disclosure Details

The Alphv leak page, still accessible via its .onion address as of the initial publication date, lists ENDE-EP under the Ministry of Energy and Water. It provides the company’s Angolan contact numbers, official email, Facebook page, and website. The entry explicitly claims the victim’s network was compromised and that exfiltrated internal files have been released. No ransom amount, negotiation timeline, or sample file list is shown on the page itself. The incident was first indexed publicly through ransomware.live on 21 September 2023.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a national utility provider loses control of internal files, the consequences reach far beyond corporate embarrassment. Electricity billing records, customer contracts, employee payroll data, and vendor agreements often contain names, addresses, national identification numbers, and bank details of ordinary households. If any of those records belong to you or someone in your family, the exposure creates long-term risk of fraud, targeted phishing, and physical stalking. Even without an exact record count, the disclosure confirms internal files were allegedly exfiltrated, meaning real personal data is now in the hands of criminals and their customers.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Ransomware operators rarely stop at one dataset. A single leaked email or phone number from an ENDE-EP file can be chained with gaming usernames, social-media handles, and previous breach records to build a complete identity profile. Attackers then impersonate you to utilities, banks, or family members. Children’s gaming accounts are especially vulnerable because the same password or recovery email used for an electricity bill may also protect an Xbox, PlayStation, or Roblox profile. Once one account falls, the rest collapse in a doxxing chain that can expose home addresses, school names, and daily routines.

Alphv’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the Alphv group, also known as BlackCat, with emerging in late 2021. The gang has struck hospitals, municipalities, and critical infrastructure operators across multiple continents. Their typical playbook begins with initial access gained through compromised credentials or vulnerable remote desktop services, followed by rapid lateral movement, data exfiltration, and deployment of custom ransomware. After encryption they launch a double-extortion campaign: first demanding payment to decrypt files, then threatening to publish the stolen data on their leak site if the victim refuses. The ENDE-EP listing follows this exact pattern.

What to do

  • Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real-world identity, then use the cleanup of Warden to break those chains.
  • Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure surfaces in hours rather than months.
  • Rotate any password you ever used on ende.co.ao or related Angolan government portals, then secure every reused account with a hardware key or authenticator app instead of SMS.
  • Cover the entire household — DoxxScan family coverage extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same addresses and recovery emails leaked in incidents like this.
  • Let remediation specialists handle ongoing takedown requests for any personal data already appearing on broker sites or forums tied to the Alphv release.

The ENDE-EP breach is a reminder that even state utilities can become gateways to personal exposure. One timely scan and consistent monitoring can stop today’s leaked file from becoming tomorrow’s identity theft. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers that continuous monitoring across 13.1 billion+ breach records and more than 100 platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, and hands-on remediation by specialists, with full household coverage that includes children’s gaming accounts.

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.
