Chonburi Provincial Administration Listed by thegentlemen Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
Chonburi Provincial Administration was listed by thegentlemen ransomware group on 06 February 2026 after internal files were exfiltrated in a ransomware attack; the actual date of the intrusion has not been established. Individuals connected to the administration are advised to review any official notices from the organisation and take appropriate steps to protect their information.
What happened
The only confirmed information is the group’s listing of the Chonburi Provincial Administration and the statement that internal files were taken. No date of the intrusion, volume of data, or technical details have been disclosed. The organisation has not issued a public statement confirming or denying the claims.
Inside thegentlemen
Thegentlemen is a ransomware operation that publishes victim names on a leak site when ransom demands are not met. Like other groups in this category, it typically gains access through phishing, stolen credentials or unpatched systems, then exfiltrates data before encrypting files. Its listings are presented as claims by the group itself; independent verification of the underlying incidents is not always available.
Chonburi Provincial Administration and its sector
The Chonburi Provincial Administration is a local government body responsible for civil services, infrastructure planning, public health programmes and tourism promotion across Chonburi Province. Organisations of this type routinely collect and store records relating to residents, businesses, property, health services and administrative transactions. A successful intrusion therefore touches data that supports everyday government functions rather than a single commercial database.
The information in question
The listing refers only to “internal files exfiltrated in ransomware attack.” No inventory of specific file types or data categories has been released. Local government bodies commonly hold personal identifiers, contact details, tax or fee records, permit applications and internal correspondence, but the exact contents involved in this case remain unconfirmed.
What's at stake
For residents, exposure of administrative records can lead to misuse of personal information in identity-related fraud or targeted scams. For the administration, the incident may complicate routine service delivery and require additional resources for investigation and system restoration. Because the number of affected individuals is unknown, the full scope of potential impact cannot yet be assessed.

Publicly posted by thegentlemen — unverified claim, pending independent verification
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.
Attributions to threat groups and methods reflect public reporting and, in some cases, unverified claims made by the groups themselves; they may be incomplete or later revised.
