This claim has not been verified by Andover, by any independent security researcher, or by any regulator. It is currently tracked by ransomware.live, a security research platform that monitors ransomware groups’ public leak sites, and is being reported here strictly as an unverified claim made by the threat actor itself.

What should you do if you have an account with this company?
- Change your password for any account associated with Andover, and avoid reusing that password on other services.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever it is offered, ideally using an authenticator app rather than SMS.
- Be cautious of unexpected emails, texts, or calls referencing Andover, especially those urging urgent action or requesting personal information — these could be phishing attempts capitalizing on this claim.
- Monitor your financial statements and any linked accounts for unfamiliar activity in the weeks ahead.
- Consider using a service like a service like Aura or LifeLock to monitor for signs that your personal information is circulating or being misused elsewhere.
- Keep records of any suspicious communications in case they become relevant if the incident is later confirmed.
