UPDATE: TheGentlemen RaaS lists Czech university and Swiss engineering firm on leak site
From CTI Daily Brief — 2026-05-20 · published 2026-05-20 · view item permalink →
UPDATE (originally covered 2026-05-14 backend database leak analysis): The TheGentlemen RaaS group's leak site listed two new European victims this week: University of Finance and Administration (VSFS, vsfs.cz) in the Czech Republic on 2026-05-19 and Swiss engineering firm DEVO-Tech AG (devo-tech.ch, Ziefen / BL) on 2026-05-18. The DeXpose write-ups are aggregator coverage of the leak-site listings themselves; neither victim has publicly confirmed the breach as of this brief. TTPs, infrastructure, and the Go-based locker remain unchanged from the Check Point Research deep coverage of 2026-05-14 — the new data point is geographic spread continuing into EU higher education and Swiss SMB engineering.
Higher-education and public-sector defenders in the DACH region should confirm offline-backup integrity and revisit SD-WAN / VPN gateway patch posture (the primary initial-access vectors documented for TheGentlemen in prior reporting). Listings are not victim confirmation; both organisations were listed by TheGentlemen and not confirmed by the victims themselves.
