Perpetual Group Listed by akira Ransomware Group

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

Perpetual Group is a diversified financial services company whichhas been serving Australians since 1886 when it was established as a trustee company by a group of businessmen. The information about the Australian this group served will soon be available in our blog for everyone. 700GB of databases with highly detailed business information in total.
— from Akira’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.

Perpetual Group Listed by akira Ransomware Group

On June 21, 2023, Australian financial services company Perpetual Group appeared on the leak site of the Akira ransomware group. The listing states that attackers exfiltrated 700GB of databases containing highly detailed business information during a ransomware incident. The disclosure indicates that data related to the Australians Perpetual has served since its founding in 1886 will soon be published.

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 582 companies.

Details from the Akira Listing

The primary disclosure on the Akira leak site states that Perpetual Group suffered a ransomware attack in which internal files were exfiltrated. It does not specify the exact number of individuals affected, nor does it list every data type exposed. The entry explicitly references 700GB of databases and notes that the information will be made available publicly. As is typical with these listings, a countdown clock was displayed, after which the group threatened to release the stolen material if demands were not met.

Perpetual Group is a long-established diversified financial services provider in Australia. The breach therefore potentially touches customer records, financial documentation, and operational data accumulated over more than a century of operation.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company that has handled trusts, investments, estates, or other financial services for generations is breached, the consequences reach ordinary customers and their families. Even if the Akira listing does not quantify affected records, the exposure of detailed business information can include personal identifiers, contact details, financial histories, and account relationships that criminals can exploit for months or years.

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.
