In February 2026, Kroll International, a US-based company specializing in business and cyber risk advisory services, was impacted by a ransomware attack attributed to the Qilin group. The incident was discovered around February 19, 2026, and the Qilin ransomware operators publicly claimed responsibility through their leak sites, indicating a data-leak event. Kroll International has not yet released an official statement regarding this incident.
At this time, the number of individuals affected by the Kroll International data breach has not been reported, nor have the specific types of data exposed been confirmed. While ransomware attacks often involve the exfiltration of data, including potentially sensitive information like SSN, medical, or financial data, no confirmed details are available in current reports. Additionally, the specific US states affected or if any notifications have been issued are unknown.
Breach investigations and notification timelines can evolve after an initial report, and additional details are sometimes released later.
