Moore Global Listed by 8base Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
The Moore Global Listed by 8base Ransomware Group (reported July 2, 2022) 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 listing appeared on the date reported above. The group stated that internal files were taken during a ransomware operation. No information has been released on the volume of data, the method of access, or whether any files were subsequently published. The organization has not issued a public statement confirming or denying the claims.
Who is 8base?
8base is a ransomware group that has been publicly active since at least 2022. Like other ransomware operators, it typically gains access to corporate networks, deploys encryption, and then lists victims on a dedicated leak site while threatening to release stolen data. The group’s listings function as unverified claims until independently confirmed by the affected organization or law-enforcement reporting.
About Moore Global
Moore Global is a network of accounting and advisory firms whose origins date to 1907. It operates in 112 countries through 522 offices and employs more than 34,000 people. Its core services include auditing, tax consulting, and insolvency work for clients ranging from individuals to multinational organizations. Such firms routinely process financial records, tax filings, and other sensitive business information.
What was likely exposed
The only data category named in the listing is “internal files exfiltrated in ransomware attack.” No inventory of specific record types, client names, or file counts has been disclosed. Organizations of this type commonly hold financial statements, tax documents, employee records, and client correspondence, but the exact contents of any exfiltrated material remain unconfirmed.
Why it matters
Accounting and advisory networks hold data that can reveal detailed financial positions, tax strategies, and personal identifiers. Unauthorized access to such information can create long-term risks of fraud or identity misuse for clients and employees. For the organization itself, the incident may affect client trust and regulatory compliance obligations, even when the precise impact is still unknown.

Publicly posted by 8base — 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.
