> 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.
