Perrin Listed by conti Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
The Perrin Listed by conti Ransomware Group (reported October 29, 2021) 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 available information is limited to the leak-site entry itself. Conti claims to have stolen internal data from Perrin, but no independent confirmation of the theft, the volume of files, or their subsequent handling has been provided. Timing of the underlying intrusion, the initial access method, and whether any data was later published remain undisclosed.
Who is conti?
Conti is a ransomware-as-a-service operation that has been active since at least 2020. The group typically deploys encryption on victim systems while also copying data, then uses the threat of publication to compel payment. It maintains a leak site where it lists organizations it claims to have targeted, a tactic observed across multiple incidents involving other entities prior to the Perrin listing.
About Perrin
Perrin is an organization whose precise sector and size are not specified in public reporting on this incident. Entities of this kind routinely store operational records, internal communications, and information about employees or clients as part of normal business functions.
What data was at risk
The listing refers only to “internal files.” No inventory of specific data categories has been released. Organizations in this category commonly hold records that can include administrative documents, contact details, and system-related information, but the exact contents in this case are unconfirmed.
Why it matters
Exposure of internal files can create downstream risks for the organization, such as further targeting or operational disruption, and for any individuals whose information appears in those files. When the scale and nature of the data remain unknown, affected parties have limited ability to assess personal exposure.
If your data was in this claimed breach
Watch for any direct notifications from Perrin. Review account statements and login activity for unusual signs. Individuals can also run a free exposure scan using their email address against known breach data sets to check for appearances in previously published collections.

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.
