[AKIRA] – Ransomware Victim: The Gerson

AI Generated Summary of the Ransomware Leak Page

On October 30, 2025, The Gerson, a US-based company that designs and manufactures high-quality respiratory protection products (including NIOSH- and FDA-approved respirators, masks, and filter systems), is presented as a ransomware victim on a leak page attributed to the AKIRA group. The post identifies The Gerson as the victim and frames the incident as a data-leak event rather than a pure encryption attack. It claims that the attackers have access to and may expose sensitive data, listing categories such as financial data (audits, payment details, financial reports, invoices) and detailed employee and customer information (medical information, emails, and phone numbers) along with other documents containing personal information. No ransom demand or figure is visible in the excerpt, and there are no downloads or external links shown on the page. The post date is October 30, 2025; as no compromise date is provided, this date is described as the post publication date.

The leak page contains no screenshots or images (the page indicates zero image assets), and there are no visible media files, downloads, or claim URLs associated with this entry. The content is translated into clear English and preserves the victim’s name as The Gerson. The page also states that additional company data will be uploaded in the future, though it does not provide specific data types beyond the categories already described (financial materials and personal information). This presentation underscores the ongoing risk ransomware poses to organizations handling health- and manufacturing-sector data, and suggests that defenders monitor for further disclosures from the AKIRA group related to The Gerson and possible data-exfiltration developments.
