A ransomware group calling itself Dark Project claims to have carried out an attack on The Liberty Group, with the claim dated August 24, 2026. This claim originates from the group’s own listing on its dark web leak site, which was tracked by ransomware.live, a security research platform that monitors ransomware groups’ public leak sites. At this time, the claim has not been independently verified, and The Liberty Group has not issued any public confirmation of the incident.
What we know — and don’t
- Dark Project posted a claim referencing The Liberty Group on its leak site, dated August 24, 2026.
