[ Ransomware claim · shiba · 29 Oct 2026 ]
Friendly Senior Living
The ransomware group shiba named Friendly Senior Living on its leak site on 29 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 Friendly Senior Living 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
Patients are the first to feel it: appointments, prescriptions and test results can be delayed, and medical and insurance records are among the most sensitive data a group can threaten to publish.

[ 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.
