Grand Power Systems Listed by avaddon Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
The Grand Power Systems Listed by avaddon Ransomware Group (reported September 9, 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.
What happened
The only confirmed detail is the listing itself. Avaddon posted Grand Power Systems on its site and asserted that internal files had been removed during a ransomware incident. No ransom demand amount, encryption timeline, or proof-of-access material has been made public by either the group or the company. The scale of the intrusion and whether any data was subsequently released are not disclosed.
Inside avaddon
Avaddon operated as a ransomware-as-a-service group that conducted double-extortion attacks: encrypting victim systems while copying files for later publication if payment was withheld. The group maintained a leak site to list organizations that had not met its demands and used common initial-access methods such as compromised remote-desktop services and phishing. It was active through 2020 and 2021 before its infrastructure was disrupted; public reporting has linked it to incidents across manufacturing, healthcare, and government contractors, though each listing on its site represented an unverified claim by the operators.
Who is Grand Power Systems?
Grand Power Systems works in the industrial power and electrical-systems sector, supplying equipment and services that support energy distribution and facility operations. Organizations of this type routinely maintain records on clients, suppliers, project specifications, and internal engineering documentation. A breach at such a firm can expose both commercial information and data that supports critical infrastructure, even when the precise holdings in any single incident are not published.
What was likely exposed
The listing refers only to “internal files exfiltrated in ransomware attack.” No inventory of file types, employee records, or customer data has been released. Companies in this sector commonly store contracts, technical drawings, maintenance logs, and contact information; however, whether any of those categories were among the files allegedly taken from Grand Power Systems is unconfirmed.
Why it matters
Even without a confirmed data count, the exposure of internal operational files can create downstream risks for clients and partners whose information appears in those records. For the organization, the incident adds the possibility of follow-on misuse of proprietary material or regulatory scrutiny. Individuals named in any of the files face the standard concerns associated with leaked business correspondence or contact details, though the absence of a published dataset leaves the scope of personal exposure unknown.
What to do if you're exposed
Anyone who has done business with Grand Power Systems or works in the same sector should watch for unusual account activity and consider enabling multi-factor authentication on any services that may hold related credentials. Running a free exposure scan of an email address against known breach repositories provides a practical first check on whether personal information has already appeared in public data sets from this or other incidents.

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.
