knightgroup.co.uk Listed by safepay Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
knightgroup.co.uk has been listed by the safepay ransomware group, with internal files reportedly exfiltrated. The disclosure was made on December 29, 2025, and an undisclosed number of people may be affected.
What happened
The listing appeared on the date noted above. The group claims that internal files were taken during a ransomware operation against the company. No information has been released on the timing of the alleged intrusion itself, the volume of data involved, or whether any ransom demands were issued or met. The organisation has not issued a public statement confirming or denying the claims.
Who is safepay?
SafePay is a ransomware group that has been publicly tracked in multiple incidents. Such groups commonly encrypt systems to disrupt operations and exfiltrate data, then list victim names on dedicated leak sites to pressure payment. Their listings represent the group’s own assertions and are not independently verified at the time they appear.
About knightgroup.co.uk
Knight Group is a UK-based precision metal stockist and processor that has operated since 1943. Companies in this sector routinely maintain records related to customers, suppliers, employees and production processes. A claim of data exfiltration from such an organisation therefore touches on information that can extend beyond the company itself.
The information in question
The only detail provided is that internal files were allegedly exfiltrated. The precise categories of data contained in those files have not been disclosed. While organisations of this type typically hold commercial correspondence, order records and staff information, the exact contents remain unconfirmed.
Why it matters
When internal files are removed in a ransomware incident, any personal details they contain can be copied and retained by the attackers. Individuals connected to the company may face risks of further misuse of their information, such as attempts at fraud or account compromise. The organisation itself must address potential regulatory obligations and operational recovery.

Publicly posted by safepay — 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.
