> Ransomware group TheGentlemen lists Calgary-based aviation flight-planning firm Skyplan Services as a victim, with credential exposure also reported.

Ransomware.live has indexed a new claimed victim entry from the ransomware group operating under the name "TheGentlemen," targeting Skyplan Services Limited, a Calgary-based private aviation flight planning and dispatch provider operating its Aurora Flight Planning SaaS platform globally (Canada, UAE, China, Finland). The estimated attack date is October 6, 2026, with discovery/listing on October 9, 2026. The company has ~85 employees and ~$7M annual revenue, and operates critical third-party aviation logistics services (fuel sales, permits/slots, ground handling, dispatch) for airline customers worldwide.

Alongside the ransomware claim, the listing cites infostealer-derived exposure data from HudsonRock and ParanoidLab, reporting 12 compromised users, 1 third-party employee credential set, 8 external attack surface findings, and 221 exposed passwords (11 flagged critical). No specific malware sample, C2 infrastructure, or exploited CVE is disclosed in this listing; DNS records shown (Barracuda email security, Microsoft 365) reflect the victim's legitimate mail infrastructure rather than attacker infrastructure.

For defenders, this is a victim-notification style entry rather than detailed technical reporting: there is no confirmed initial-access vector, no IOC list tied to the intrusion, and no technical detail on TheGentlemen's tooling. Organizations in aviation/flight-planning and logistics supply chains should treat this as a signal to review credential hygiene (given the infostealer exposure) and monitor for data leak site publication from TheGentlemen group, which would typically follow a failed extortion negotiation.
