Cyberattaque.org, a French site, reports on multiple data leaks and cyberattacks affecting various sectors, including companies and political parties. The site, launched in March 2026, serves as an independent observatory but lacks verified sources and methods. It distinguishes between confirmed data leaks and claims made by hackers. Meanwhile, ransomware.live tracks ransomware incidents in Germany, Spain, and the UK, reporting significant increases in victims in 2026 compared to 2025. The site lists 412 victims in Germany, 352 in the UK, and 164 in Spain as of October 17, 2026. The data is sourced from criminal gang claims, police reports, and data protection authorities, but discrepancies exist among these sources. Both platforms emphasize the need for verification and caution in interpreting their data.
