RT Software Listed by tridentlocker Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
RT Software was listed by the tridentlocker ransomware group on April 27, 2026, after internal files were exfiltrated in a ransomware attack. An undisclosed number of people may be affected; anyone connected to the organisation should check for notifications and change passwords or monitor accounts as a precaution.
On April 27, 2026, the ransomware group tridentlocker listed RT Software on its leak site, claiming to have exfiltrated internal files during a ransomware attack. The number of individuals affected remains unknown, and no further details on the volume or contents of the data have been made public. Incidents of this kind continue to affect organisations that supply specialised technology to the broadcast sector.
The listing draws attention to the persistent use of data exfiltration by ransomware operators as leverage, even when the precise impact on a given victim is not immediately clear.
Breaking down the breach
The only confirmed information is the date the group posted RT Software on its leak site and the statement that internal files were taken. No figure for the number of records involved has been released, and the method of initial access has not been disclosed. It is therefore not possible to determine the scale of the incident from public information at this time.
The group behind it: tridentlocker
Tridentlocker is a ransomware operator that follows the double-extortion model common among current groups: data is encrypted on victim systems and copies are removed beforehand. The group maintains a leak site where it lists organisations it claims to have targeted, using the threat of publication to encourage payment. Such listings are presented by the group itself and are not independently verified in every case.
Who is RT Software?
RT Software is a UK-based company that develops real-time graphics and virtual studio technology for broadcast television. Its products, including the tOG platform, support live on-air graphics, augmented reality and virtual set production. Clients include major broadcasters and sports networks. The firm has operated in the media and entertainment technology sector since the 1990s.
What data was at risk
The group stated that internal files were exfiltrated. No further categories of data have been specified. Organisations in this sector commonly hold client contracts, project files, software source code and internal communications, yet the exact nature of the material taken in this instance has not been confirmed.
Why it matters
Exposure of internal files can create operational and competitive risks for the affected company and may indirectly affect its clients if project-related material is involved. For individuals whose information appears in such files, the main concerns are potential misuse of contact details or contractual data, though the absence of confirmed data types leaves the personal impact unclear.
Were you affected?
Individuals who have worked with RT Software or its clients can monitor official statements from the company. A practical first step is to review any recent correspondence from the organisation and to change passwords for accounts that may share credentials with work systems. Readers can also run a free exposure scan of their email address against known breach data to check for prior appearances in other incidents.

Publicly posted by tridentlocker — 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.
