Saiful Bouquet, a leading US-based architecture firm, was targeted in a ransomware attack by the Qilin group on February 17, 2026. This incident was discovered and reported by ransomware.live and dexpose.io. The Qilin ransomware group has threatened to release sensitive data if negotiations are not initiated by the company.
At present, the number of affected individuals, specific data types exposed (such as SSN, financial, or medical data), and the US states affected have not been publicly confirmed. This appears to be an ongoing ransomware extortion case, and Saiful Bouquet has not yet provided official notification or confirmation regarding the breach.
Details often emerge over time, and breach notifications can be delayed.
