Great Foods Listed by lamashtu Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
Great Foods has been listed by the lamashtu ransomware group following the exfiltration of internal files, with the incident reported on June 17, 2026. Individuals are advised to check whether their information was involved and to monitor accounts and change passwords if concerned.
Breaking down the breach
The only confirmed information is the listing itself and the group's assertion that internal files were taken during a ransomware operation. No independent confirmation of the data theft or encryption has been reported. The scale of the incident, including any ransom demand or payment, remains undisclosed.
Who is lamashtu?
Lamashtu is identified in the listing as a ransomware group. Such groups commonly encrypt systems and threaten to publish stolen data on leak sites to pressure victims. Public records of the group's earlier operations are limited in connection with this incident, and the listing of Great Foods stands as an unverified claim by the group.
About Great Foods
Great Foods is an Egyptian food manufacturing and distribution company established in 1972. It forms part of the El Naggar Group, employs more than 3,700 people, and exports over 150 products to more than 40 countries. Companies of this type routinely hold records related to production, supply chains, employees, and commercial partners.
What was likely exposed
The reported exposure consists of internal files exfiltrated during the ransomware attack. The precise contents of those files have not been disclosed. Organisations in food manufacturing typically maintain data on operations, personnel, and business relationships, but the exact categories involved in this case remain unconfirmed.
What's at stake
Exposure of internal files can create operational and competitive risks for the company. For individuals whose information appears in such files, potential consequences include misuse of personal or employment details. The absence of confirmed data types makes it difficult to assess the full impact on any specific group of people.
If your data was in this claimed breach
Monitor accounts associated with the company for unusual activity and consider changing passwords where reuse may have occurred. Enable multi-factor authentication on relevant services. Individuals can run a free exposure scan of their email address against known breach data to check for appearances in public listings.

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.
