    Detailed summary

    Kewaunee Scientific, a supplier of specialized laboratory and healthcare furniture and equipment, was reportedly affected by a ransomware attack in June 2026. The Incransom group claimed responsibility, stating they exfiltrated 504 GB of data, including 852,141 files and 120,670 folders. This claim was posted on Ransomware.live, as no official breach notification from Kewaunee Scientific, regulatory filings, or class-action lawsuits have been found to confirm the incident.

    The compromised data allegedly includes personal data, financial documentation, contracts, audit reports, drawings, contractor and subcontractor information, and client/NDA documents. While financial data was explicitly mentioned, the presence of SSN or medical data has not been confirmed. The number of affected individuals and the specific states impacted remain unclear, as official sources have not verified the ransomware group's claims or provided detailed information.

    It is important to note that information about data breaches can emerge or change over time, and official notifications may be delayed.
