French industrial supplier LISI Group confirmed a cybersecurity incident affecting two ancillary sites after the Qilin ransomware gang claimed responsibility. The company said only a limited amount of information was stolen and that core operations and infrastructure were not impacted; however, data samples attributed to Qilin reportedly included internal business documents and sensitive records such as bank-transfer screenshots, bank account details, employee forms, contracts, and partner-related documentation.
Dutch paints and coatings firm AkzoNobel also confirmed a contained intrusion limited to a single U.S. site following a leak attributed to the Anubis ransomware operation. Anubis claimed theft of roughly 170GB (nearly 170,000 files) and published partial leak samples allegedly including confidential client agreements, internal correspondence, passport scans, material testing documents, and technical specification sheets; AkzoNobel stated it is notifying impacted parties and coordinating with authorities. Separately, a BlackFog monthly ransomware roundup reported 82 publicly disclosed ransomware incidents in February 2026 (healthcare most targeted) and highlighted other claimed/extortion cases (e.g., Everest claims involving Hosokawa Micron and Iron Mountain), but it did not provide additional corroboration on the LISI Group or AkzoNobel incidents.

LISI Group disclosed that two ancillary sites were affected by a cybersecurity incident following Qilin's claims. CEO Emmanuel Viellard said only a limited amount of information was stolen and that operations and infrastructure were not impacted.
AkzoNobel confirmed that hackers breached the network of one of its U.S. sites after the Anubis ransomware gang posted a data leak. The company said the incident was contained, limited to that site, and that it was notifying affected parties and working with authorities.
Over the weekend before March 3, 2026, the Qilin ransomware gang claimed to have targeted French industrial supplier LISI Group. Data samples shared by Qilin indicated exposure of financial and internal business documents.
During 2025, the Anubis operation broadened its affiliate model and introduced a data-wiping capability. This marked an escalation in the group's tooling and business model.
The Anubis ransomware-as-a-service operation began in December 2024. It later expanded its affiliate program and added a data-wiping capability in 2025.

Dutch paint manufacturer **AkzoNobel** confirmed a network breach at one of its U.S. sites, with the **Anubis** ransomware operation claiming responsibility and alleging theft of ~**170GB** (about **170,000 files**) of data. Reported stolen materials include confidential client agreements, employee contact details, private emails, passport scans, and technical documents; AkzoNobel said the incident was contained and impact was limited, and it did not disclose whether negotiations are underway. Reporting also noted Anubis’ evolution as a **ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS)** operation and prior use of a **data-wiper** capability intended to destroy files beyond recovery. Separately, the **University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC)** reported it restored normal clinic operations after a ransomware attack disrupted electronic medical records, phone lines, and multiple IT systems for nine days; no group had publicly claimed the intrusion, though officials said they were in contact with the attackers and working with authorities and specialists. Additional context on the broader ransomware landscape included a February tally of publicly disclosed incidents across sectors and geographies, and technical reporting showing how a successful brute-force login against exposed **RDP** can lead to domain enumeration, credential-hunting, and identification of geo-distributed infrastructure tied to a **RaaS ecosystem** and **initial access brokers**—highlighting continued risk from internet-exposed remote access services and credential-based intrusion paths.

Ransomware reporting in early February highlighted both broad **January 2026** activity and specific new developments. BlackFog tracked **91 publicly disclosed ransomware attacks** to open 2026, with **healthcare** the most targeted sector (27 incidents) and nearly **half (49%)** of recorded attacks not publicly claimed by a known group; among claimed activity, **Qilin** led with eight incidents and the **U.S.** accounted for 58% of disclosed attacks. Separately, CYFIRMA reported identifying a ransomware strain dubbed **Milkyway**, which encrypts files and appends the `.milkyway` extension, presents a full-screen ransom message, and uses typical extortion pressure (including threats to leak stolen data), with recovery generally dependent on offline/secure backups absent cryptographic flaws. A healthcare-specific incident in Ontario was also disclosed: **Lakelands Public Health** reported a cybersecurity intrusion discovered **Jan 29** and reported **Feb 3**, which disrupted internal systems and some public services during containment while stating infectious disease and clinical appointment systems were not impacted. The **Lynx** ransomware group publicly claimed responsibility by listing the organization on a leak site and implying data theft; Lakelands Public Health engaged a specialized cybersecurity firm and worked with law enforcement and forensics to validate the claim and determine scope. UpGuard characterized Lynx as a **RaaS** operation and an alleged successor to the **INC** ransomware group, consistent with double-extortion tactics (encryption plus threatened data exposure).

Multiple organizations disclosed or were linked to **ransomware/data-extortion** activity with material operational or privacy impact. **Air Côte d’Ivoire** confirmed a cyberattack affecting parts of its information systems after **INC ransomware** claimed theft of **208 GB** and threatened to leak data, while the airline said it engaged the national CERT and external experts to contain impact and maintain flight operations. In the US healthcare sector, **University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC)** reported a ransomware incident that forced statewide clinic closures and disrupted access to **Epic** electronic medical records, prompting engagement with the **FBI** and **CISA** and use of downtime procedures to sustain patient care. Separately, **Conduent**’s earlier ransomware-linked breach continued to expand in scope, with breach notifications indicating at least **~25 million** people affected across multiple states and exposure of sensitive PII (including **SSNs** and health/insurance data). **Wynn Resorts** also confirmed an unauthorized party accessed and stole employee data after being listed by the **ShinyHunters** extortion group, with the company stating the actor claimed the data was deleted and that guest operations were not impacted. Other items in the set describe distinct, unrelated security events and broader threat research rather than the same incident: alleged data leaks involving **Burger King France** and **Wendy’s UK**; **Qilin** ransomware claims against a New York City transit union; Russian cyber operations against Ukraine’s power grid focused on intelligence collection; and a New Zealand healthcare application (**MediMap**) taken offline after apparent unauthorized access and **patient record tampering** (e.g., records marked deceased). Additional references cover threat research and trends (airline brand impersonation domains, edge-device exploitation telemetry, MuddyWater’s *Operation Olalampo*, Google Ads cloaking via **1Campaign**, freight/logistics phishing by “Diesel Vortex,” and various governance/AI/5G/quantum commentary), which provide context on the threat environment but do not substantively report on the same specific breach event.
