Zabun Listed by thegentlemen Ransomware Group

On February 26, 2026, the ransomware group known as thegentlemen added Turkish exhibition-stand company Zabun Grup to its leak site, claiming that internal files had been exfiltrated during a ransomware attack.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

Public reporting indicates the company’s domain zabungrup.com.tr appears on the group’s onion site hosted at tezwsse5czllksjb7cwp65rvnk4oobmzti2znn42i43bjdfd2prqqkad.onion. The listing states that internal files were taken. No exact victim count or list of specific documents has been published. Zabun Grup designs and builds exhibition stands for trade fairs in Turkey and Europe, work that involves client contracts, supplier lists, employee records, and project financials. Ransomware.live mirrors state the posting date as February 26, 2026.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company like Zabun loses control of its internal files, the information inside can include names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, and payment details of customers and partners. If you or any member of your family has attended a trade fair, ordered a stand, or worked with an exhibitor that used Zabun’s services, your personal data may now sit in an attacker’s archive. Once stolen data leaves the original company it travels quickly through underground markets. A single exposed email or phone number becomes the starting point for phishing, account takeovers, and more serious harassment. Your family’s safety depends on how quickly you discover these exposures and limit the damage.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Stolen company files rarely contain isolated records. They often link an individual’s work email to a personal mobile number, home address, or even family-member names. Attackers chain these fragments together: a leaked work contact becomes a gaming username, which leads to a child’s account, which reveals an address. This identity-chain effect turns one breach into repeated targeting across email, social media, and online gaming. Credential leaks of this kind frequently cascade into account takeovers because people reuse passwords. Public reporting shows that families suffer most when children’s gaming accounts are reached through parent data stolen from vendor lists.

Thegentlemen’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes thegentlemen ransomware group with activity that emerged in late 2024. The group has listed dozens of smaller businesses and service providers, focusing on firms with limited public visibility. Their typical playbook begins with initial access through phishing or exploited remote-desktop services, followed by exfiltration of internal documents before encryption. They then publish samples on their leak site and demand payment to prevent full release. Extortion style is direct: a short negotiation window followed by incremental data dumps if the victim does not pay. Exact prior victim counts remain unconfirmed beyond what appears on their own site and mirrors such as ransomware.live.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity so you can see exactly what chains back to the Zabun exposure.
• Rotate any password you used at Zabun Grup or any related vendor anywhere it is reused, and switch on 2FA through an authenticator app rather than SMS.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak that touches your family is caught in hours, not months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same address or parent email.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and exposed records while you focus on securing accounts at home.
