Po****.ca Listed by cloak Ransomware Group

On February 23, 2024, the Canadian company Po****.ca appeared on the leak site operated by the cloak Ransomware Group. The listing states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack, although the exact number of records affected and the specific data types remain undisclosed in the primary listing.

Details from the Leak Site

The cloak leak site entry states that Po****.ca, a Canadian organization, was compromised in a ransomware incident. It explicitly notes that internal files were allegedly exfiltrated and threatens further publication if demands are not met. The disclosure does not quantify the volume of data taken, list particular categories of information such as customer records or employee details, or provide a precise timeline of the initial intrusion. Public trackers such as ransomware.live mirrored the listing on the same date, preserving the original claim that the victim’s data is now held by the group.

This type of posting is standard for ransomware operators who move from encryption to double-extortion: first locking systems, then exfiltrating selected material to pressure payment.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company that handles personal information suffers a breach, the consequences often reach far beyond corporate walls. If you or your family have interacted with Po****.ca — whether as a customer, patient, employee, or vendor — your details may now sit in an attacker’s archive. Even though the listing does not specify what was taken, internal files frequently contain names, addresses, dates of birth, contact information, financial records, or health data. Once such material leaves controlled environments, it can surface months or years later in identity-theft operations or targeted scams.
