If this is your organisation

Assume credentials were taken even where the post names none: reset, revoke sessions, enforce a second factor.
Open the incident with your national CERT and your regulator before data is published, not after.
Watch the listing: a tracked domain is re-checked against every new post and you are paged when this one changes status or another operator names the organisation.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by SHIBA means maltest appeared on a ransomware extortion site and is being pressured to pay before any publication. 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.
Monitor for the data appearing on SHIBA'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, recording every new disclosure and the moment the operator says the data was released. Each entry on this page is sourced from the operator's own publication, listed by an independent tracker (RansomLook) and checked against our own capture. 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.
