  • •Qilin ransomware claims attack on Côte d'Ivoire's state broadcaster IDT.
  • •No verification or confirmation of data breach from IDT as of October 30, 2026.
  • •Similar claims made against Airbus SLC México just days prior.

The Qilin ransomware group has claimed responsibility for an attack on Côte d'Ivoire's state TV and radio operator, Société Ivoirienne de Télédiffusion (IDT), as listed on its data-leak site on October 30, 2026. The claim lacks verification, and IDT has not confirmed any incident. The potential breach could expose sensitive data, including network maps and staff records, threatening the continuity of national broadcasting. No details about the data allegedly taken have been disclosed, and the claim remains unverified. This incident follows a similar listing involving Airbus SLC México on October 26, 2026, where Qilin also claimed to have compromised sensitive operational data. Both claims are unverified and highlight the ongoing threat posed by ransomware groups to critical infrastructure.
