Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs Listed by Mogilevich Ransomware Group

On February 27, 2024, Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs appeared on the leak site of the mogilevich ransomware group. The listing states that attackers exfiltrated 7GB of internal documents during a ransomware incident and set a public extortion deadline of 3 March 2024. The entry notes that the data is also offered for sale to third parties.

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.

Details in the Leak Listing

The mogilevich leak site describes the victim as “Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs” under the category “Foreign Affairs.” It explicitly claims successful breach and exfiltration of documents totaling 7GB. The posting does not specify the exact number of records affected or list the precise file types beyond “internal files” and “documents.” A direct link invites employees or potential buyers to view samples. The disclosure indicates the data remains available for purchase even after the original deadline passed.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a government department that handles passports, visas, international travel records, and diplomatic correspondence is breached, the ripple effects reach ordinary citizens. Your own passport details, visa applications, or correspondence with Irish embassies may sit inside the stolen files. If you or any member of your family has interacted with Irish consular services in the past decade, your personal information could now be in the hands of criminals. The 7GB of documents likely contain names, addresses, dates of birth, passport numbers, and internal notes that identity thieves can weaponise for years.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk

State department data rarely exists in isolation. A single leaked email address or phone number can be chained with gaming usernames, social-media handles, and family addresses already circulating on other breach repositories. This creates a complete identity profile that enables account takeovers, SIM-swapping, and targeted extortion. Credential leaks of this nature frequently cascade into gaming accounts belonging to you or your children, where stolen logins grant attackers persistent access and further personal details. Continuous monitoring that maps these connections is the only practical way to break the chain before criminals complete the picture.

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.
