Why list leak-site claims at all?
Ransomware and extortion crews post victims on leak sites before anyone confirms. The list shows what attackers say. Treat it as a lead and check with the organisation.
Is the map a live attack feed?
No. It counts incidents and claims reported in 2026. Live attack maps from security vendors show scanning traffic hitting their sensors, which does not mean a place was attacked.
