A ransomware group calling itself kazu claims to have carried out an attack against PawlyClinic, a digital veterinary care platform, with the claim dated August 23, 2026. This claim comes from an entry on the group’s own leak-site listing, which is tracked by ransomware.live, a security research platform that monitors ransomware groups’ public extortion sites. At this time, PawlyClinic has not confirmed the incident, and no regulator has verified the claim. It should be treated strictly as an unverified assertion by a criminal group until further information becomes available.

What should you do if you have an account with this company?
- Change your password for your PawlyClinic account, and avoid reusing that password on other sites.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever it is offered, both on this account and on any accounts that shared the same password.
- Be alert for phishing emails, texts, or calls that reference PawlyClinic, veterinary services, or your pet’s care — attackers often use claimed breaches to craft convincing lures.
- Monitor financial statements and any linked payment methods for unfamiliar activity.
- Consider using an identity monitoring service like a service like Aura or LifeLock to help detect if your personal information appears in places it shouldn’t.
- Keep an eye on official communications from PawlyClinic in case they issue an update or notification regarding this claim.
