What the group claims

webbelectric.com Webb Electric Company of Florida (founded 1957, Cantonment/Pensacola, FL) is a veteran-owned specialty electrical contractor focused on underground power distribution from 600V to 35kV, substation replacements, medium-voltage upgrades and airfield lighting systems. It works almost exclusively for the U.S. government — Navy, Air Force, Army Corps of Engineers, VA, USDA and FDA — with 1,000+ federal projects completed nationwide (including Cuba and Hawaii) and roughly $96.6 million in defense contracts awarded between 2000 and 2020. Led by founder Jerry T. Webb and his children (President Daniel Webb, VP/Treasurer Melinda Schwartz), the company books $10–15 million a year and self-performs 98% of its work with its own crews. Landmark projects include a $16.7M runway lighting overhaul at Scott AFB and $15.4M in electrical work at Sheppard AFB. It competes on "best value" past performance and a strong safety record (OSHA-trained crews).

Disclosure context

About thegentlemen

thegentlemen is a ransomware group that emerged in September 2025, operating with apparent financial motivations based on their broad targeting of commercial sectors. The group has documented 267 victims across multiple countries, with primary focus on the United States, Thailand, France, Brazil, and India. Their targeting strategy demonstrates a preference for high-value sectors including manufacturing, technology, healthcare, and financial services organizations. Given the group's recent emergence and limited public documentation from established threat intelligence sources such as CISA, FBI, or major security research firms, specific details regarding their country of origin, operational structure, attack methodologies, encryption techniques, and whether they employ ransomware-as-a-service models remain unclear. The relatively high victim count of 267 in a short operational timeframe since September 2025 suggests either an aggressive campaign pace or potential inflation of victim numbers through affiliate operations, though without corroborating intelligence reports, the group's exact operational capabilities and notable campaigns cannot be definitively established. Current intelligence indicates the group remains active as of late 2025, though comprehensive threat profiling requires additional validated reporting from authoritative cybersecurity sources. The group has been linked to 914 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on September 9, 2025; most recent post September 30, 2026. The operation is currently active.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by thegentlemen means Webb Electric Company of Florida 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 thegentlemen'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.
