RateGain Listed by hive Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
The RateGain Listed by hive Ransomware Group (reported May 24, 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
RateGain was added to the Hive ransomware group's leak site on May 24, 2022. The group stated that it had exfiltrated internal files from the organization during a ransomware operation. No further details on the timeline of the intrusion, the volume of data, or the encryption status of systems have been made public. The number of people whose information may be involved is not known.
Who is hive?
Hive is a ransomware-as-a-service operation that has been publicly tracked since 2021. The group typically gains access through phishing or compromised remote-access tools, deploys encryption on target systems, and maintains a leak site to publish data when ransom demands are not met. It has been linked to incidents across multiple industries in public reporting by security researchers and law-enforcement agencies.
About RateGain
RateGain provides software and services to the hospitality and travel sectors, including revenue-management, distribution, and customer-engagement platforms. Organizations in this field routinely process reservation records, payment details, and operational documents that support hotel and airline bookings. A listing on a ransomware leak site therefore raises questions about the handling of commercial and customer-related records within that supply chain.
What was likely exposed
The available information states only that internal files were exfiltrated. Specific categories of data have not been published. Companies of this type commonly store customer contact information, booking histories, financial transaction records, and internal business documents; however, whether any of these categories were among the files referenced in the listing is unconfirmed.
Why it matters
Exposure of internal files can create downstream risks for individuals whose details appear in reservation or payment systems, including potential misuse for fraud or targeted phishing. For the organization, the incident may lead to regulatory scrutiny, costs associated with investigation and remediation, and loss of trust among clients who rely on secure handling of travel data.
If your data was in this claimed breach
Monitor bank and credit-card statements for unusual activity and consider placing fraud alerts with credit bureaus. Review account passwords and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Individuals can also run a free exposure scan of their email address against known breach data sets to check for appearances in previously published records.

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.
