Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) Listed by Minteye Ransomware Group

If you are a resident of Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) was listed on Minteye's leak site. Minteye claims to have stolen internal data. This is the group's claim, not a confirmed finding.

Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) Listed by Minteye Ransomware Group

On December 12, 2025, the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission appeared on the leak site of the minteye ransomware group after attackers exfiltrated 2.3 TB of internal files. Anyone whose personal information, employment records, or contact details were stored in those systems may now be exposed, including staff, contractors, research partners, and individuals whose data the organization routinely handles.

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 the IATTC, an intergovernmental body that coordinates tuna fisheries research and management across the eastern Pacific, was hit by a ransomware incident. The attackers claim to have taken 2.3 TB of internal documents. No confirmed list of exact victim counts or specific data fields has been released, but the volume suggests a wide range of administrative, financial, and operational records were taken. The minteye group posted the organization to its leak site on December 12, 2025, and set an implicit deadline for any potential negotiations.

Available reporting describes the data as “internal files” without further technical detail on whether email databases, spreadsheets containing personal identifiers, or research participant information were included. Industry research from sources such as DoxxScan™ continuous monitoring indicates that government-adjacent and nonprofit organizations frequently store names, addresses, dates of birth, and contact information that later surface in downstream leaks.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When an organization like the IATTC loses control of 2.3 TB of internal files, the ripple effects reach everyday people. If you or a family member ever worked with the commission, applied for a permit, participated in a study, or had your contact details shared through its networks, that information may now be in the hands of criminals. Names, addresses, emails, and phone numbers are the building blocks attackers need to launch identity theft, phishing campaigns, or harassment.

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.
