SBC Global, Bitfinex, Coinmama, and Rutgers University Part 2 Leak Listed by Flocker Ransomware Group

SBC Global, Bitfinex, Coinmama, and Rutgers University were listed on the Flocker ransomware leak site on May 05, 2024, after the group claimed the four organizations refused to pay following a ransomware attack that resulted in exfiltration of internal files.

Primary Disclosure Details

The Flocker leak-site posting explicitly names the four victims and states they were targeted in a single campaign. It declares that internal files were allegedly exfiltrated during a ransomware attack and warns that the data will be released because the organizations declined to pay the demanded ransom. The listing does not specify the volume of records involved, the exact file types beyond “internal files,” or the precise date of initial compromise. Public reporting on Flocker indicates the group follows a double-extortion model: encryption of victim systems paired with threats to publish stolen data.

May 05, 2024 marks the first public disclosure of this particular leak listing. The notification appears directly on the group’s onion site, hosted via ransomware.live mirror, and follows the group’s standard format of naming non-paying victims.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When universities, financial platforms, and service providers lose control of internal files, the ripple effects reach ordinary customers and students. Bitfinex and Coinmama handle cryptocurrency transactions that frequently link to personal wallets, exchange accounts, and payment methods. Rutgers University maintains records on current and former students, faculty, and applicants. SBC Global provides communications services that often store billing, support tickets, and contact details. If any of these organizations held information connected to you or your family, that data may now sit in an attacker-controlled archive.
