Attack summary

Severity: high — Confirmed data exfiltration from a major religious trust managing significant charitable operations and holding records of hundreds of thousands of devotees, donors, and employees. Exposure of such records poses privacy and operational risks to a culturally significant institution serving vulnerable populations including the elderly and ill.

The ransomware group claims to have compromised SSST's systems and accessed organizational data. The leak post does not specify whether encryption occurred or detail the scope of exfiltration beyond confirming data access.

The leak post

captured from the group's site

Shree Saibaba Sansthan Trust (SSST) is India's one of the wealthiest and most prominent public charitable trusts, registered under the Bombay Public Trusts Act 1950, governing and managing the Shree Saibaba Samadhi Mandir and all related temples, institutions, and charitable activities in Shirdi, Maharashtra, India. Originally formed in 1922 by Shirdi villagers to manage donations and daily rituals following Sai Baba's passing in 1918, the trust was formally restructured in 1982 by the Government of Maharashtra and the Charity Commissioner, appointing public trustees for better governance. SSST manages all facilities for devotees visiting Shirdi including darshan (temple visits), accommodation, Prasadalaya (free meals for devotees), Anna Daan (food donations), medical services, educational initiatives, and various social welfare programs. The trust organizes three major annual festivals: Ram Navami, Guru Purnima, and Shree Sai Baba Punyatithi (Vijayadashami). Over 200 acres of temple complex and land are managed by SSST.

Disclosure context

About krybit

Krybit is an emerging ransomware group that was first observed in April 2026, operating with apparent financial motivations based on their limited documented attacks against diverse sectors. The group's origin and affiliations remain unclear due to limited public intelligence, and it is unknown whether they operate as a Ransomware-as-a-Service model or as an independent entity. With only four known victims documented across geographically diverse regions including Mexico, Austria, Japan, and Botswana, the group appears to employ broad targeting rather than focused regional or sector-specific campaigns, though their attack methodology, encryption techniques, and data exfiltration practices have not been publicly documented by major security firms or law enforcement agencies. No notable high-profile campaigns or significant ransoms have been publicly reported, and no law enforcement actions against the group have been documented. Given the recent emergence of this group and extremely limited public reporting, Krybit's current operational status and capabilities remain largely unknown to the broader cybersecurity community. The group has been linked to 162 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on April 3, 2026; most recent post October 4, 2026. The operation is currently active.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by krybit means sai.org.in 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, CERT-In (India), as required for your jurisdiction.
Monitor for the data appearing on krybit'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.
