Glassdoor Listed by The Gentlemen Ransomware Group
If you are a customer of Glassdoor, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.
glassdoor.com is a U.S. job platform (founded 2007) where employees anonymously review companies — culture, salaries, management. It's owned by Recruit Holdings/Indeed (acquired for $1.2B in 2018; legally merged into Indeed on July 1, 2026). It hosts millions of reviews for ~600,000 companies, plus salary data and job listings. Free for job seekers, monetized via employer branding tools; it also publishes the annual "Best Places to Work" awards.
— from The Gentlemen’s own leak-site posting. This is the group’s claim, quoted verbatim; it is not GalaxyWarden’s reporting and has not been independently verified.
The Gentlemen ransomware-extortion group has listed Glassdoor on its leak site. According to the listing, the U.S. job platform appears among their claimed victims. Glassdoor has not publicly confirmed the claim as of this writing.

Your Account May Be Part of an Unverified Claim
If you have or had a Glassdoor account, the primary concern right now is the possibility that login credentials tied to your email address were included in whatever material the group obtained.
Your date of birth, address history, or phone number are also not listed. What remains at issue is mainly account-level access and any personal details you may have added to your profile or resume uploads.
What a Leak-Site Listing Actually Establishes
Ransomware and extortion crews frequently publish the names of well-known brands on leak sites to create pressure, whether or not they possess meaningful data. The Gentlemen’s post is exactly that: an accusation. It supplies no independent proof, no sample files that can be verified as authentic, and no technical evidence that Glassdoor systems were compromised.
- Every indexed leak tied to your address — all of them, named and dated
- A deeper search of collected breach data — the kinds of your information it holds, where it finds you
- What this kind of incident typically exposes
- A ten-minute lock list written for this kind of organisation
Many such listings later prove to be recycled material from older incidents, bluffing, or data purchased on underground markets. Real confirmation would require Glassdoor to issue a formal statement, regulatory notification, or direct outreach to affected users. Until that happens, this remains an unverified claim rather than an established breach. The absence of detail in the listing itself — no categories of information named, no indication of how many accounts may be involved — further limits what you can conclude.
The Pattern of Naming High-Visibility SaaS Platforms
Ransomware operators have increasingly targeted or claimed high-profile online platforms that hold resumes, salary data, and workplace reviews. Glassdoor fits this pattern: it is a recognizable consumer-facing service with millions of user profiles. Naming it generates media attention and reputational pressure on the company even when the underlying compromise remains unproven.
For you, this pattern means one practical takeaway. Any site where you maintain a professional profile or have uploaded documents should use a unique, strong password and, where available, enable multi-factor authentication. Reusing credentials across job boards, social networks, and email increases the blast radius if any single platform is later confirmed compromised.
Actions That Address This Specific Situation
- Enable two-factor authentication on your Glassdoor account and every other job or professional site you use.
- Review and clean your Glassdoor profile and uploaded documents. Remove phone numbers, personal email addresses, or full resumes that contain sensitive information.
- Use a password manager to generate unique credentials for every professional site so a compromise on one does not affect the rest.
- Watch for phishing emails that reference your employment history or Glassdoor reviews. Verify sender addresses before clicking links or providing information.
