The Gentlemen ransomware gang has claimed responsibility for attacks on both MoneyGram and KFC, threatening to publish stolen data unless negotiations begin. MoneyGram, which serves 60 million customers globally, has not confirmed any breach, and the attackers have yet to provide data samples. KFC, with nearly 32,000 locations worldwide, also faces similar allegations, with no confirmation from the company regarding the incident. The Gentlemen gang employs a double-extortion model and operates as a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) entity. Both companies are at risk of significant data exposure, including sensitive personal and financial information. The Gentlemen gang has a history of sophisticated attacks and emerged from a split with another ransomware group in 2025. Cybernews has reached out to both companies for comments and updates.
