Panzer ransomware operators claim compromise of Surakarta University with 7,533 compromised user credentials and 407 employee accounts.
Ransomware.live reports that Panzer ransomware operators have claimed a successful attack against Surakarta University in Indonesia. The breach reportedly compromised 407 employee accounts and 7,533 user credentials, with 1,323 third-party employee credentials also exposed. The attackers identified 200 external attack surface elements and DNS records associated with the victim's domain. The claim is posted on the attackers' leak site, indicating data exfiltration as part of the attack chain. This represents a typical ransomware operation combining credential theft, likely via infostealer malware, with encryption and data extortion tactics.

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.
