Data exposed Internal files exfiltrated in ransomware attack

On June 10, 2026, UiTM Holdings, the investment arm of Malaysia’s largest public university, appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group known as thegentlemen. The company confirmed that internal files had been exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. While the exact number of people whose personal information was exposed remains unknown, anyone whose records passed through UiTM Holdings or its university systems could be affected.

Confirmed Facts from Reporting

Public reporting indicates UiTM Holdings was listed on the thegentlemen leak site on June 10, 2026. The group claims to have stolen internal files during a ransomware incident. UiTM Holdings functions as the commercial and investment arm of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), managing assets in property, healthcare, education, and technology to generate revenue for the university’s academic programmes.

Available reporting describes the exposed material as internal files. No confirmed total of affected records or specific categories of personal data has been publicly detailed. The listing appeared on the group’s dedicated leak page, hosted via ransomware.live at the provided primary source link.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a university-linked investment company loses control of internal files, the ripple effects reach students, staff, alumni, contractors, and their families. Records that seem administrative — contact details, financial documents, employment files, or research partnerships — can contain the exact information needed to open accounts, file fraudulent taxes, or impersonate you.

Your data does not need to be the main target for it to be used against you. A single exposed email, phone number, or national identification detail is often enough to start a chain of identity fraud that can affect credit scores, tax filings, and even children’s records for years.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Stolen internal files frequently contain more than names and addresses. They can link email accounts, phone numbers, employee IDs, vendor contacts, and sometimes family or dependent information. Attackers and data resellers combine these fragments across multiple breaches to build complete identity profiles.

Credential leaks of this nature often cascade into account takeovers on gaming platforms, social media, and email. A child’s gaming account tied to a parent’s leaked email from a university partner can quickly become part of a doxxing chain that reveals home addresses and personal relationships.

Thegentlemen’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes thegentlemen with emerging in recent years as a ransomware operation that combines encryption with data theft and extortion. The group has listed victims ranging from corporations to public-sector entities. Their typical playbook involves gaining initial access, exfiltrating sensitive files, deploying ransomware, and then publishing samples on their leak site when demands are not met.

Available reporting describes their extortion style as posting proof of stolen data with deadlines for payment, after which larger portions or all of the material may be released. Exact details of prior victims and success rates remain limited to what the group itself publishes and what independent trackers document.

What to do

  • Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, usernames, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what this breach connects to.
  • Rotate any password used at UiTM Holdings, its university systems, or any related service, and switch on two-factor authentication using an authenticator app instead of SMS.
  • Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 15.4B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak exposing you or your family is caught in hours rather than months.
  • Cover the entire household with DoxxScan family protection, which includes children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same addresses and parent emails leaked in incidents like this.
  • Let DoxxScan remediation specialists handle takedown requests and broker removals for you while you focus on securing accounts and watching for fraud.
