Fountain Listed by DragonForce Ransomware Group

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

Over the last 40 years, Fountain has established itself as Europe's leading supplier of drinks vending machines for businesses, delivering the widest range of solutions to organisations with 5 to 50 employees, as well as multi-site key account customers. The company now operates in 28 countries and has developed a strong reputation and identity, founded on personalised services and solutions, a wide range of tailor-made products, and a local distribution network. Here at Fountain, we provide our customers with a comprehensive service that covers cartridge and automatic machines, capsule machin

Fountain Listed by DragonForce Ransomware Group

On March 30, 2026, the ransomware group DragonForce added Fountain, Europe’s largest supplier of drinks vending machines, to its public leak site after the company failed to meet an extortion deadline. The attackers claim to have exfiltrated internal files belonging to the firm, which operates in 28 countries and serves both small businesses and large multi-site customers.

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 Fountain was listed on the DragonForce leak portal with samples of allegedly stolen data. The company, which has supplied vending machines and related services for more than 40 years, has not yet issued a public statement confirming the breach or detailing the exact volume of records involved. Available reporting describes the exposed material as internal files rather than a traditional customer database. No confirmed count of affected individuals has been published, leaving many customers and employees uncertain whether their personal information is among the leaked material.

The listing appeared after the group’s typical ransom deadline passed. Ransomware.live, which tracks such incidents, provided the primary public link to the DragonForce post. As with many ransomware cases, the precise size and sensitivity of the files remain unclear until independent verification or company disclosure occurs.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company like Fountain suffers a breach, the ripple effects reach ordinary people. Employees, recent customers, suppliers, and even people who simply registered for a service quote may find their names, contact details, or payment records exposed. Once that information leaves the company’s control, it can be sold, traded, or used to launch further attacks against you.

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.
