e-button.com.tw Listed by lockbit2 Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
The e-button.com.tw Listed by lockbit2 Ransomware Group (reported September 10, 2021) 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.
Inside the incident
The only confirmed public record is the entry on the lockbit2 leak site. The group asserts that data was exfiltrated, yet no inventory of files, no timeline of access, and no ransom demand details have been released by either the group or the victim. The scale of the operation and the method of initial access remain undisclosed.
Who is lockbit2?
LockBit is a ransomware operation that first appeared in 2019 and has since used an affiliate model in which multiple actors deploy its encryption tools. The group is known for encrypting systems and then threatening to publish stolen data if a ransom is not paid. Its leak sites have listed hundreds of organisations across multiple countries. Any specific claim made on the site about e-button.com.tw remains an assertion by the group and has not been independently verified in public records.
About e-button.com.tw
e-button.com.tw is a Taiwan-registered domain. Organisations operating under such domains commonly handle customer records, supplier information, internal correspondence and technical documentation. A breach that exposes internal files can affect both the organisation’s operational continuity and the privacy of any individuals whose details appear in those files.
What data was at risk
The listing refers only to “internal files.” No further breakdown of file types or data categories has been published. Organisations of this type routinely store employee records, financial documents and customer contact information, yet the precise contents of the claimed exfiltration are unconfirmed.
What's at stake
Exposure of internal files can lead to follow-on fraud, targeted phishing or misuse of any personal information contained in those documents. For the organisation, the incident may result in regulatory scrutiny under Taiwan’s data-protection rules and costs associated with investigation and remediation. Individuals named in the files face the standard risks that accompany any leak of personal or financial data.
Were you affected?
Public information does not identify specific individuals. The following steps are standard after any reported incident involving a service you use:
- Monitor official statements from e-button.com.tw for guidance on next steps.
- Change passwords for any accounts linked to the organisation and enable multi-factor authentication.
- Review bank and credit statements for unusual activity.
- Run a free exposure scan of your email address against known breach data sets to check for prior appearances.

Publicly posted by lockbit — 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.
