ryc.org Listed by safepay Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
ryc.org has been listed by the safepay ransomware group, with internal files reported exfiltrated in an attack disclosed on December 27, 2025. The number of people affected has not been disclosed; anyone connected to the organization should check for any follow-up notices and take steps to secure their accounts.
What happened
The incident centers on a claim by the safepay group that it obtained internal files from ryc.org through a ransomware attack. The listing appeared on December 27, 2025. No information has been released on the timing of the intrusion itself, the volume of data taken, or whether any files were later published. The organization has not issued a public statement confirming or disputing the claim.
Who is safepay?
Safepay is a ransomware group that maintains a leak site where it lists organizations it claims to have targeted. Such groups typically encrypt systems and exfiltrate data, then use the threat of publication to pressure victims. Public records show the group has appeared in multiple prior listings involving various sectors, though each claim requires separate verification.
ryc.org and its sector
Raritan Yacht Club is a private, member-owned recreational organization based in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Clubs of this type maintain records on members, including contact details, membership status, and payment information for dues and events. A breach at such an entity can expose personal and financial data belonging to individuals who joined for recreational purposes rather than commercial services.
What was likely exposed
The only detail provided is that internal files were allegedly exfiltrated. The precise contents of those files have not been disclosed. Organizations in this sector commonly store member names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and payment records; however, it is not confirmed whether any of these categories were present in the taken files.
What's at stake
Individuals whose information appears in the exfiltrated files could face risks of targeted phishing, account takeover attempts, or misuse of payment details. The club itself may encounter operational disruption if systems were encrypted and additional costs related to investigation and recovery. Because the number of affected people is unknown, the full extent of these consequences cannot yet be measured.
If your data was in this claimed breach
Monitor bank and credit card statements for unauthorized activity and place fraud alerts with major credit bureaus if you have been a member or provided payment information. Change passwords for any accounts linked to the club and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Readers can run a free exposure scan of their email address against known breach data to check for prior appearances in public listings.

Publicly posted by safepay — 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.
