Summary

Written by ThreatClusterfrom site fields, victim profile, leak post, screenshot

Incransom states that AHEAD, a Chicago-based IT consulting and engineering firm, is the victim of the incident. The leak page describes AHEAD’s business scope and, per the group’s claims, revenue exceeding $3.7 billion after CDI’s acquisition and more than 2,500 employees across 40 locations. A separate Victim Profile on the page lists revenue as $30 million, creating a discrepancy; the page does not specify what data were taken. The leak post is published and listed on the leak site.
