NSOFT Listed by thegentlemen Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
NSOFT has been listed by thegentlemen ransomware group as a victim, with internal files reportedly exfiltrated during the attack. The incident was disclosed on April 14, 2026; an undisclosed number of people may have been affected, and affected individuals should check any notifications or services from NSOFT and take appropriate protective steps.
Ransomware groups continue to target organisations that manage critical infrastructure data, and the listing of NSOFT by thegentlemen on 14 April 2026 adds one more entry to that pattern. Public records show only that the group claims to have exfiltrated internal files from the Indian utility-services firm; the number of people affected and the precise contents of those files remain undisclosed.
Inside the incident
The incident was reported on 14 April 2026 when thegentlemen added NSOFT to its leak-site listing. The only confirmed detail is that internal files were allegedly exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. No figure for the volume of data, the number of individuals affected, or the timeline of the intrusion has been released by either the company or the group.
The group behind it: thegentlemen
Thegentlemen is a ransomware operator that maintains a public leak site to pressure victims. Like other groups in this category, it typically claims to have stolen data before encrypting systems and then publishes samples or file listings when negotiations stall. Its listing of NSOFT constitutes an unverified claim by the group; independent confirmation of the data’s authenticity or scope has not been published.
About NSOFT
NSOFT India Services Pvt Ltd, founded in 1996 and based in Bangalore, specialises in utility automation and advanced metering infrastructure for electricity, water and gas providers. The firm states that it serves more than 16 million consumers across eleven utilities and processes transactions exceeding ₹10,000 crore annually. It holds CMMI Level 5, ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and ISO 20000 certifications and employs over 1,000 staff.
What data was at risk
The only category named in connection with the listing is “internal files.” Organisations of this type routinely hold customer account records, metering data, billing histories and operational system information, yet the exact nature and extent of the exfiltrated material have not been confirmed.
The real-world impact
Exposure of internal utility files can create operational and privacy risks for the utilities and consumers served by NSOFT. Affected organisations may face regulatory scrutiny and added costs for forensic review and system restoration, while individuals have no confirmed indication yet whether personal identifiers or consumption records were among the files.
If your data was in this claimed breach
Individuals can take the following initial steps while waiting for official statements:
- Monitor bank and utility statements for unusual activity.
- Enable or strengthen multi-factor authentication on accounts linked to the affected utilities.
- Run a free exposure scan of their email address against known breach data sets to check for prior appearances.
