[ Ransomware claim · qilin · 12 Oct 2026 ]
ConAuto
The ransomware group qilin named ConAuto (Ecuador) on its leak site on 12 Oct 2026. This is the group's own claim: it has not been verified by Cyfenced or Ransomware.live, and some claims turn out to be exaggerated, recycled or false.
[ Status ]Has the attack been confirmed?
We have found no statement from ConAuto and no press report of an attack so far. Until the organisation says something, treat the listing as an unproven claim, but stay alert to the phishing such claims are used for.
[ Impact ]Who could be affected
Shipments, deliveries and travel can be held up for the businesses and people who rely on them, and logistics firms hold data about their customers' cargo and routes.

[ What to do ]If you are a customer, partner or neighbour
- Be wary of emails, calls and texts that mention the organisation, especially ones asking you to pay, log in or open an attachment. Criminals use leak-site claims to make phishing believable.
- Check announcements on the organisation's own website or official channels, not on social media reposts.
- If you share accounts or systems with the organisation, change those passwords and check for unusual logins.
- Never visit leak sites or download files claimed to come from the attack: they can contain malware, and handling stolen personal data can be illegal.
