TheGentlemen ransomware claims PIR Sales
Free public brief. The indicators, the detections with Splunk and KQL already written, and a Slack alert the next time this touches a vendor you run are in the app — free account, no card.
Ransomware group TheGentlemen lists PIR Sales, Inc., a small Arizona-based manufacturers' rep firm, as a victim on its leak site.
Ransomware.live has indexed a victim listing from the ransomware group known as 'TheGentlemen' naming PIR Sales, Inc., a privately held manufacturers' representative firm based in Chandler, Arizona. The company, founded in 1992, serves the plumbing, irrigation, waterworks, fire/life safety, and HVAC sectors across Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and West Texas, with estimated annual revenue of $20-23M and a small workforce of 17-19 employees. The listing was discovered on 2026-10-09, with an estimated attack date of 2026-10-06.
The entry provides minimal technical detail: DNS records show the victim uses Microsoft 365 for email (via Exchange Online Protection) and SPF records referencing isquote.com, a third-party quoting/CRM platform likely used by manufacturers' sales reps. No specific cloud or SaaS compromise vector, exploited vulnerability, ransom demand, or data exfiltration details are disclosed in this listing. As is typical for ransomware leak-site postings, this represents a claim by the threat actor rather than a confirmed, detailed incident report; no indicators of compromise, malware samples, or TTPs are provided.
Defenders in professional services, manufacturing representation, and related small-to-mid-size B2B distribution firms should treat this as a low-detail victim notification. Given the lack of technical specifics, organizations cannot derive actionable detection signatures from this report alone; however, it confirms continued targeting of small/mid-sized firms by the TheGentlemen ransomware operation and may warrant monitoring of the group's leak site for further disclosures.

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 with the Splunk SPL and Microsoft KQL already written, 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 11,183 reports from 148 sources, 503 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.
