N0n ransomware operator claims compromise of Argentina's Ministry of Education with over 214,000 user credentials exposed.

Ransomware.live, a public tracking platform that indexes ransomware operators' leak site postings, reports that the N0n ransomware group claims to have compromised Argentina's Ministry of Education. According to the posting indexed by the platform, the compromise affected at least one employee directly, with 214,074 user credentials and two third-party employee credentials exfiltrated. The attacker also identified 101 external-facing attack surface elements (DNS records and network exposure points) associated with the victim's domain.

The posting indicates data exfiltration has occurred and been made available on the attacker's leak site. The compromise represents a significant data breach affecting a government education sector organization, with hundreds of thousands of credentials now at risk of abuse in follow-on attacks such as credential stuffing, lateral movement, or identity fraud. The timeline and method of initial compromise are not detailed in the public posting.

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, 616 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.
