IFL Group Listed by anubis Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
IFL Group was listed by the Anubis ransomware group on February 18, 2026, after internal files were exfiltrated in an attack whose timing has not been established. Individuals who have done business with IFL Group should review any recent communications from the company and monitor their accounts for suspicious activity.
Inside the incident
The only confirmed information is the date the listing appeared and the description of the material as internal files. The scale of the intrusion, the method used to gain access, and the volume of data removed have not been disclosed. IFL Group has not issued a public statement confirming or denying the claims.
The group behind it: anubis
Anubis is a ransomware operation that follows the double-extortion model common among current groups. It typically encrypts systems and removes copies of files, then posts victim names on a leak site to pressure payment. The group has appeared in multiple sectors over the past several years, though each listing remains an unverified claim until independently confirmed.
About IFL Group
IFL Group operates in the air transportation sector. Companies of this type maintain records that include flight operations, maintenance logs, employee information, and passenger or customer details required for regulatory compliance and commercial activity. A breach at such an organisation can affect both business continuity and the privacy of individuals whose data is processed in the course of normal operations.
What was likely exposed
The listing refers only to internal files. The precise categories of data contained in those files have not been published. Organisations in air transportation routinely hold contact information, identification documents, travel histories, and employment records; whether any of these categories were present in the exfiltrated material remains unconfirmed.
What's at stake
Exposed internal files can be used for targeted fraud, account takeovers, or further social-engineering attempts against individuals named in the records. For the organisation, the incident adds costs related to investigation, potential regulatory scrutiny, and restoration of systems. The absence of a confirmed data inventory means the full extent of downstream consequences cannot yet be measured.
If your data was in this claimed breach
Begin by watching for unusual account activity and enabling multi-factor authentication on any services linked to the company. Review bank and credit statements for unauthorised transactions. Individuals may also run a free exposure scan of their email address against known breach data to determine whether their information has appeared in other incidents.

Publicly posted by anubis — 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.
