— from LockBit’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.

teleferico.com Listed by lockbit3 Ransomware Group

Teleferico.com, the operator of the popular Funchal cable car in Madeira, Portugal, was listed on the LockBit 3.0 ransomware leak site on 13 April 2023. The listing indicates that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. The company has not publicly quantified how many customers or employees may be affected, and the leak-site posting does not detail the precise data types stolen.

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 582 companies.

Reported Details from the Listing

The LockBit 3.0 leak site entry states that Teleferico.com suffered a ransomware intrusion and that attackers successfully exfiltrated internal files. No specific volume of records is provided, nor does the posting enumerate categories such as customer names, payment details, or employee records. The disclosure simply states that data was taken and gives the victim a deadline to negotiate before files are published. Public reporting on LockBit 3.0 shows the group routinely posts proof-of-exfiltration samples and maintains a countdown clock on its onion site. The primary source remains the LockBit leak page itself, hosted at the .onion address indexed by ransomware.live.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a tourism operator like Teleferico.com is breached, anyone who has ever bought tickets, joined their mailing list, or made an online booking could have personal information exposed. Even if the exact contents remain undisclosed, ransomware groups almost always target customer databases, booking records, and contact lists. For ordinary families planning holidays in Madeira, this means your names, email addresses, phone numbers, and possibly payment information may now sit on a criminal server. The longer the data circulates in underground markets, the higher the chance it will be used for phishing, identity theft, or account takeover attempts aimed at you or your relatives.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk

Stolen customer files rarely stay isolated. Attackers and subsequent buyers link an email address from one breach to usernames on social media, gaming platforms, and other services. A single leaked booking record can become the starting point for a doxxing chain that reveals home addresses, children’s names, and even linked gaming accounts. Credential leaks of this kind frequently cascade into account takeovers on Steam, Roblox, or other services popular with children. Once an attacker controls one account, they can harvest further personal details and sell or weaponize the full identity package.

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.
