AI Generated Summary of the Ransomware Leak Page

On October 9, 2025, AES Clean Technology, a United States–based company described in the leak metadata as operating in the technology sector with manufacturing activities, is listed as a victim on a ransomware leak page attributed to a group known as “play.” The post date aligns with October 9, 2025, and the entry was added to the leak site on October 6, 2025. The page frames the incident as a data-leak event rather than a full encryption of systems and identifies AES Clean Technology within the manufacturing information domain of the technology sector. The exact volume of exfiltrated data is not disclosed in the data provided (marked as “??? gb”), and no ransom amount is stated in the metadata. The page contains no screenshots or images, but there is a claim URL present, suggesting that additional information or a ransom note may be accessible elsewhere on the site.

The leak text claims that private and personal confidential data belonging to clients and AES Clean Technology were compromised, including documents related to budgets, payroll, accounting, taxes, IDs, and other financial information. The metadata shows 83 views for the leak page, and the page excerpt references the victim’s site without providing further identifying details. There are no graphical elements on the page (image and download indicators are false), and no attachments are indicated as available. The presence of a claim URL indicates that additional information or a negotiating note may exist beyond this summary, though the specific data types and quantities are not disclosed beyond the list of sensitive categories.

Notes: The summary preserves the victim name AES Clean Technology and notes that the data volume and any ransom figure are not disclosed in this entry. The incident appears to reflect a data-leak scenario rather than a documented encryption event. Given the sensitivity of the claimed data types—private and personal information, client documents, budgets, payroll, and financial records—stakeholders should monitor for potential data publication or exposure and coordinate with security and legal teams to assess regulatory risk and remediation steps. The information presented here mirrors the leak page’s content and metadata as supplied and should be corroborated with ongoing threat intelligence feeds.
