About the victim

AI dossier — public-source company profile

SLA is an internationally renowned nature-based design studio headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, with additional offices in Aarhus and Oslo. The studio employs approximately 130 landscape architects, biologists, anthropologists, and city planners who design cities, public spaces, and nature at all scales. SLA has realised projects across Denmark, Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America, including major commissions in Copenhagen, Toronto, Beijing, and Abu Dhabi.

Employees: 130

Attack summary

Severity: high — Data has been confirmed as published by the threat actor, indicating successful exfiltration. While no explicit data inventory or regulated data categories are confirmed, a studio of 130 professionals with international government and institutional clients (hospitals, biodiversity funds, city authorities) likely holds sensitive project, financial, and personal data. Published data status elevates this beyond medium.

The ransomware group Sinobi claims to have attacked SLA and has published data (disclosed status: data_published), though the leak post does not specify whether encryption, exfiltration, or both occurred, nor does it quantify the volume of data involved.

Disclosure context

About sinobi

Based on the limited publicly available information, Sinobi appears to be a recently emerged ransomware operation first observed in July 2025, with financial motivations evidenced by their targeting of 268 victims across multiple sectors. The group's origin and specific affiliations remain undocumented in public threat intelligence reporting, and there is no confirmed information regarding whether they operate as a Ransomware-as-a-Service model or as an independent entity. Their attack methodology and technical capabilities have not been extensively documented by major security research organizations, though their targeting patterns suggest a broad opportunistic approach rather than highly selective operations. The group demonstrates a preference for targeting organizations in the United States, India, United Kingdom, Canada, and Italy, with a focus on manufacturing, healthcare, construction, and technology sectors, suggesting they may exploit common vulnerabilities across these industries rather than deploying sophisticated, sector-specific attack vectors. No major high-profile campaigns or significant law enforcement actions against Sinobi have been publicly reported by CISA, FBI, or established threat intelligence firms. Given the recent emergence timeline and lack of extensive public documentation, the group's current operational status and long-term trajectory remain unclear, though the substantial victim count suggests continued activity as of the last available reporting period. The group has been linked to 274 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on July 5, 2025; most recent post May 8, 2026. The operation is currently active.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by sinobi means SLA.DK 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, CFCS (Denmark), as required for your jurisdiction.
Monitor for the data appearing on sinobi'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.
