The cepima Listed by lockbit2 Ransomware Group (reported June 2, 2022) is an unverified claim; the data involved is undisclosed belonging to roughly unknown people. If you have an account with them, your information may now be circulating on the open web and with data brokers. Here’s exactly what happened, how to check if you were affected, and what to do next.
What happened
Cepima was listed on the LockBit 2.0 ransomware leak site on June 2, 2022. The group claims to have exfiltrated internal files in a ransomware attack. No further details on the timing of the intrusion, the scale of the operation, or confirmation from the organization have been disclosed in available records. The number of individuals affected is listed as unknown.
Who is lockbit2?
LockBit 2.0 is a ransomware-as-a-service operation that has been publicly active since at least 2020. The group typically deploys encryption on victim systems and uses a double-extortion model, in which data is first copied and later threatened with publication if a ransom demand is not met. It maintains a leak site where victim names are posted when negotiations fail or are declined. The group’s listings are presented as claims by the operators and are not independently verified in each case.
About cepima
Public detail on cepima itself is limited in reports of this incident. The organization is identified only by name in the leak-site entry, with no sector, size, or operational description supplied in the available facts.
What was likely exposed
The facts state that internal files were exfiltrated. No specific categories of data, such as personal records or financial information, are named. The exact contents of the files therefore remain unconfirmed beyond the general description of internal material.
Why it matters
Exposure of internal files can reveal operational procedures, communications, or technical configurations that may be used in further targeting. When the number of affected individuals is unknown, the scope of any downstream risk to employees, clients, or partners cannot be quantified from the reported information.

Breach listings — particularly those originating from ransomware or leak sites — are third-party claims that may be unverified, incomplete, or inaccurate. A listing does not by itself confirm that a breach occurred or that any specific data was exposed. Severity is an automated assessment, not a definitive rating. Verification status is shown where available.
