EBNY Development Listed by thegentlemen Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
EBNY Development was listed by thegentlemen ransomware group on July 06, 2026, after internal files were taken in a ransomware attack. The number of people affected remains unknown; anyone connected to the organization should verify whether their information was exposed and take protective steps.
Breaking down the breach
The only confirmed information is the listing itself and the statement that internal files were allegedly exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. No figure for the volume of data, the date of the intrusion, or the method of access has been released. It is also not confirmed whether the files have been published or used in any further way beyond the initial claim.
The group behind it: thegentlemen
Thegentlemen is a ransomware operator that maintains a leak site where it lists organizations it claims to have targeted. The group typically announces incidents by posting victim names and, in some cases, samples or full archives of data it says it removed. Its listings function as public claims of responsibility; independent confirmation of the underlying events is not always available at the time they appear.
Who is EBNY Development?
EBNY Development is a real estate company founded in 2012 and based in Egypt. It develops residential and commercial property projects that combine design and planning elements, serving clients in Egypt and other markets. Organizations in this sector routinely collect and store records related to property transactions, client identities, financial arrangements, and project documentation.
What was likely exposed
The listing refers only to “internal files.” No specific categories such as customer names, contact details, financial records, or identification documents have been named. Real estate firms commonly hold such information in the course of their work, but the exact contents of the exfiltrated material remain unconfirmed.
What's at stake
Exposure of internal files can affect both the organization and individuals connected to its projects. For the company, the release of planning documents, contracts, or operational records may create commercial or regulatory consequences. For clients and partners, any personal or financial details contained in those files could be used for identity-related fraud or targeted scams, though the presence of such details has not been established.
What to do if you're exposed
Individuals who have done business with EBNY Development or similar firms can monitor their accounts for unusual activity and consider placing fraud alerts with credit agencies where available. Changing passwords for any associated online portals and enabling multi-factor authentication are standard first steps.

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.
