[QILIN] – Ransomware Victim: Yaesu

AI Generated Summary of the Ransomware Leak Page

Yaesu, a Japanese technology manufacturer, is identified as the victim in a ransomware leak post attributed to the threat group “qilin.” The post date provided in the leak metadata is 2025-11-10 19:49:00.320125, and no separate compromise date is given, so this timestamp is treated as the leak’s publication date. The leak page’s body excerpt references Yaesu Yaesu Manufacturing and includes a tokenized label: TOX: 7C35408411AEEBD53CDBCEBAB167D7B22F1E66614E89DFCB62EE835416F60E1BCD6995152B68, which appears to function as an internal reference or identifier rather than a stated ransom amount. The available fields do not explicitly indicate whether encryption occurred or whether data was exfiltrated—the impact field is empty—so the exact nature of the attack’s impact is not clearly defined in the excerpt. The post ties Yaesu to the event and attributes the publication to the qiling group, consistent with standard ransomware leak patterns that publicly identify victims and associated artifacts without necessarily disclosing a ransom figure in the visible excerpt.

The leak page includes ten image attachments, listed in the metadata as 10 images. These are likely thumbnails of internal documents or materials, though their contents are not described in the excerpt. The annotations indicate that the image assets are hosted on onion services, with the actual URLs defanged in this summary; no direct download link is shown, as the downloads_present flag is false. Yaesu is identified as the victim and is located in Japan, in the Technology industry, suggesting a high-value tech manufacturing target. The post date remains the primary timestamp in this record, given the absence of a stated compromise date. In sum, Yaesu is the victim named in the leak, the page features ten images illustrating the breach, and a tokenized label accompanies the post, yet a ransom amount is not disclosed in the provided data.
