USA – Anubis Ransomware Group Claims Data Breach at Financial Company

Back

"Marnell Financial Services – Data breach at financial company" – Ransomware.live, April 23, 2026 

What Is Happening?

On April 23, 2026, a ransomware group called "Anubis" claimed responsibility for a data breach at Marnell Financial Services, a financial company. The attack was discovered on the same day, meaning it is very recent .

According to the ransomware tracking website, this was a "small but substantial data breach at a fintech company." The group also claimed another breach at a company called "Tractial" on the same day .

What Is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of cyberattack where criminals break into a company's computer systems, steal data, and lock the company out of their own systems. Then they demand a ransom payment (usually in cryptocurrency) to return the data and unlock the systems.

If the company does not pay, the criminals may:

  • Sell the stolen data on the dark web
  • Release the data publicly to embarrass the company
  • Use the data for identity theft and fraud

What Data Was Stolen?

The exact details have not been released yet. But in financial company breaches, stolen data typically includes:

  • Customer names and addresses
  • Social Security numbers or National ID numbers
  • Bank account information
  • Loan application details
  • Credit histories

Why This Matters for Borrowers

This is the second major loan-related data breach we have reported in recent weeks. Previously, Figure Lending and Kaaj Technologies both suffered breaches affecting tens of thousands of customers.

The pattern is clear: Financial technology companies are being targeted by cybercriminals. And when they are breached, YOUR data is what gets stolen.

The Role of Ransomware Tracking

Websites like Ransomware.live track these attacks by monitoring the dark web sites where ransomware groups post their victims. This helps the public become aware of breaches even if the companies themselves are slow to notify customers
