On June 30, 2024, German confectionery manufacturer Henry Lambertz GmbH & Co. KG (lambertz.de) appeared on the leak site of the Black Basta ransomware group. The listing claims that attackers exfiltrated roughly 800 GB of internal files during a ransomware incident and threatens to publish the data unless the company meets an undisclosed demand.

Details in the Leak-Site Posting
The primary disclosure on the Black Basta leak site states that Lambertz suffered a ransomware attack in which internal files were taken. It lists three broad categories of material: employee personnel data, firm data including financial bookkeeping and human-resources records, and confidential data. The posting does not specify exact record counts or name individual victims. It simply asserts that the stolen archive totals approximately 800 GB and warns that samples will be released if the company does not negotiate.
Black Basta operators typically give victims a short window to respond before they begin incremental data dumps. The onion link provided by the group remains the sole official channel for this incident; no separate regulatory filing or customer notification from Lambertz had surfaced at the time the listing went live.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
If you or anyone in your household has ever worked at Lambertz, supplied the company, or had personal information stored in its HR or accounting systems, your details may now sit inside an attacker-controlled archive. Personnel data commonly includes names, addresses, dates of birth, national identification numbers, salary records, and banking information. When such material reaches criminal forums, it fuels identity theft, tax fraud, and targeted phishing for years afterward.
