eTeam Inc. is a privately held global workforce solutions and business transformation company. Founded in 1999 by Ben Thakur, the company is certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE). It has grown from a boutique IT staffing agency into a massive global network, managing thousands of internal employees and contract workers across continents. We successfully exfiltrated all employee records (15K), including full names, email addresses, home addresses, DOBs, SSNs, phone numbers, contracts, managers, hire dates, salaries and more. We engaged with eTeam privately some time back, and now we are going public with the announcement as eTeam was negligent of the incident that took place then. We're giving you one more chance. Speak soon or leak soon!

Disclosure context

About EndZone

EndZone is a ransomware group first observed in September 2026, operating with an apparent financial motivation based on its targeting profile, though limited public documentation exists given its early stage of activity. The group has claimed two known victims to date, with targeting concentrated in the United States across the Government and Defense and Technology sectors, suggesting a deliberate focus on high-value organizations likely to possess sensitive data and the financial resources or political pressure to meet ransom demands. Due to the group's nascent operational history and limited victim count, no detailed technical attribution, affiliation, or country of origin has been publicly established by CISA, the FBI, Mandiant, or other reputable security research organizations at this time. Similarly, specific details regarding initial access vectors, tooling, encryption methodology, or extortion tactics have not yet been publicly documented, though the targeting of government and defense entities is consistent with broader ransomware trends involving double extortion and data exfiltration pressure. No notable high-profile campaigns, law enforcement actions, or confirmed ransom figures have been publicly attributed to EndZone as of the time of this profile, and the group should be considered an emerging threat actor under continued monitoring given its sector targeting patterns. The group has been linked to 7 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on September 18, 2026; most recent post September 24, 2026. The operation is currently active.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by EndZone means eTeam Inc. appeared on a ransomware extortion site and data attributed to it has been published. If this is your organisation, or a supplier you depend on, the priority is to confirm the intrusion and contain it before the window to act closes.

  • Engage your incident-response team and preserve forensic evidence before remediating — do not wipe affected systems first.
  • Force a password reset and revoke active sessions for exposed accounts; rotate any credentials, API keys or certificates that may have been in the stolen data.
  • Assess regulatory notification duties (GDPR, NIS2, sector regulators) — many carry a 72-hour reporting clock from awareness.
  • Report the incident to your national CERT, CISA (United States), as required for your jurisdiction.
  • Monitor for the data appearing on EndZone's leak site and across paste and breach channels, and brief downstream partners who may be exposed through you.

How we know this. Darkfield monitors public ransomware leak sites continuously, archiving every new disclosure and the data later released against the victim. Each entry on this page is sourced from the operator's own publication and cross-checked against complementary OSINT feeds (RansomLook, ransomware.live, RansomWatch). We do not collect or host stolen data — only the metadata, timestamps and screenshots needed to make the public disclosure searchable and accountable. Records here are corrected when the original post is edited, retracted, or merged with another disclosure.
