Confluent listed as Thegentlemen ransomware victim
Free public brief. The indicators, the detections with Splunk SPL already written (plus Elastic and KQL where they apply), and a Slack alert the next time this touches a vendor you run are in the app — free account, no card.
Ransomware.live reports data-streaming vendor Confluent was claimed by the Thegentlemen ransomware group with compromised employee and user credentials.
This entry from Ransomware.live's victim-tracking platform lists Confluent, a data streaming infrastructure company, as a victim of the ransomware group operating under the name "thegentlemen." The listing is sourced from a leak site posting and includes limited telemetry: one compromised employee, 1,018 compromised user accounts, five third-party employee credential exposures, and 56 external attack surface findings, alongside DNS records for the victim's domain. No further details on the intrusion method, ransomware payload, or specific stolen data categories are provided in this record.
The entry appears to be an automated aggregation of a ransomware leak-site claim rather than original incident analysis, and provides no technical indicators of compromise, exploited vulnerabilities, or attack chain detail. Defenders at Confluent or its partners/customers should treat this as a data point warranting verification through official channels, review of third-party credential exposure, and monitoring for use of leaked credentials in follow-on attacks (e.g., infostealer-to-ransomware pivot referenced by the sponsor content).

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries its extracted indicators, its detections (Splunk SPL already written, plus Elastic and Microsoft KQL where they apply), the actors and CVEs it names as live profiles, and the vendor research on the same campaign — the primary source the news paraphrased, cited and read directly.
It sits in a corpus of 13,854 reports from 146 sources, 614 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them — about forty a week that are yours, not the four hundred that are not.
