Excis Listed by sekhmet Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
The Excis Listed by sekhmet Ransomware Group (reported May 30, 2020) 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 public record consists solely of the listing on the sekhmet leak site. No information has been provided about when the underlying ransomware activity occurred, how many files were taken, or the technical method used to gain access. The group asserts that internal data was obtained, yet independent confirmation of the exfiltration or its contents has not been reported.
Who is sekhmet?
Sekhmet operates as a ransomware group that combines system encryption with the publication of stolen data on dedicated leak sites. This approach is used to increase pressure during extortion demands. The group has appeared in multiple reported cases where organizations were named after data claims were made public.
About Excis
Excis is the organization named in the 2020 listing. Entities of this type maintain internal systems that support routine operations and hold records necessary for their functions. A claim of data exfiltration from such an organization raises questions about the confidentiality of materials that may reference individuals or other entities connected to its activities.
What data was at risk
The only detail reported is a claim that internal files were exfiltrated. The specific categories of information within those files have not been disclosed. Organizations routinely store operational documents, internal communications, and administrative records, but the exact contents involved in this case remain unconfirmed.
The real-world impact
Internal files can contain references to individuals whose personal details become more difficult to control once removed from the original environment. For the organization, the incident may have prompted response measures and reviews of access controls. People connected to Excis face the possibility that any personal information present in the files could be used in subsequent unauthorized activity.
Were you affected?
Anyone seeking to determine possible exposure should watch for any notifications issued by Excis. Checking personal accounts for signs of misuse remains a direct precaution. Running a free exposure scan with an email address can show whether that address has appeared in publicly known breach datasets.

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.
