Qilin ransomware gang claims compromise of AFSARD with exfiltration of employee credentials and data.
Ransomware.live, an indexing platform for publicly disclosed ransomware victims, reports that the Qilin ransomware operation has claimed a victim in the AFSARD organization. According to the posting, the compromise involved 10 compromised employees, 123 compromised users, and 5 third-party employee credentials. The attacker claims to have conducted reconnaissance of the victim's external attack surface, identifying 15 exploitable entry points and capturing DNS records. The article does not disclose the underlying stolen data in accordance with the platform's policy of indexing only publicly visible ransomware operator disclosures. Defenders at organizations in similar sectors should assess their exposure to Qilin's known attack vectors and credential compromise risks.

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.
