DEKIMO Listed by blackbasta Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
The DEKIMO Listed by blackbasta Ransomware Group (reported July 6, 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
DEKIMO appeared on blackbasta’s data-leak site on 6 July 2022. The group’s listing asserts that internal files were exfiltrated in the course of a ransomware operation. No independent confirmation of the volume or nature of the material has been released, and the number of individuals potentially affected is recorded as unknown.
Who is blackbasta?
Black Basta is a ransomware group that emerged publicly in early 2022. It is known for double-extortion operations in which data are both encrypted on victim systems and copied for later publication or sale if a ransom demand is not met. The group maintains a leak site on which it lists organisations it claims to have targeted. Listings on the site constitute claims by the group rather than verified statements of fact.
About DEKIMO
Public detail on DEKIMO in connection with this incident is limited. The breach record provides no information on the organisation’s sector, size or the categories of data it routinely holds.
What was likely exposed
The only description supplied is that internal files were allegedly exfiltrated. The specific data types have not been disclosed. Without further confirmation it is not possible to state which categories of information, if any, were involved.
Why it matters
Internal files held by any organisation can contain information that, if published, may be used for further targeting or fraud. When the scale and content remain unknown, affected individuals and the organisation itself face uncertainty about the extent of any exposure. Ransomware listings also place pressure on the victim to respond without necessarily clarifying what has occurred.
If your data was in this claimed breach
Monitor bank and email accounts for unusual activity and consider enabling multi-factor authentication on services that support it. Individuals can also run a free exposure scan of their email address against known breach data to check whether their information appears in other published incidents.

Publicly posted by blackbasta — 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.
