mts.gov.eg Listed by FunkSec Ransomware Group

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

"mts.gov.eg" is the website for the Ministry of Transport in Egypt, a government agency that oversees the implementation of public transport policies and infrastructure development. The Ministry maintains roads, bridges, ports, railway networks, and airports throughout Egypt, optimizing transportation for the benefit of both individuals and goods. This platform provides the latest updates, services, and important information related to transportation in the region.
— from Funksec’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.

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 the Ministry of Transport oversees Egypt’s roads, bridges, ports, railways, and airports. The agency’s website serves as the public face for transportation policy, infrastructure updates, and citizen services. Available reporting describes the incident as a ransomware attack in which internal files were taken before encryption or denial of access occurred. The exact number of individuals whose information may have been exposed remains unknown. No specific data types such as names, national ID numbers, or contact details have been publicly confirmed in the initial leak notice.

The primary evidence consists of a posting on the funksec ransomware leak site, accessible via the onion address indexed by ransomware.live. As of the publication date, the group had not released sample files or a full data dump for independent verification.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a government ministry that manages nationwide transport systems is breached, the ripple effects reach ordinary citizens. Internal files can contain correspondence, contractor records, licensing information, or employee details that include home addresses, phone numbers, and government-issued identifiers. If any of those records relate to you—through a driver’s license, vehicle registration, public transport card, or employment—your personal information may now sit in an attacker’s archive.

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.
