What Happened?
On August 25th, 2026, the ransomware group Dark Project listed Dentist in New Britain, CT on its dark web leak site. The claim was tracked by Ransomware.live, which explicitly notes that Dark Project is an emerging group and that its claims should be treated with caution until independently verified. According to the attacker’s posting, the alleged compromise included the practice’s entire customer database — just over 8,000 files — as well as a small number of records said to contain Social Security numbers. These data types are alleged by the threat actor only and have not been confirmed by the organization or any regulator. No official breach notification, regulatory filing, or public statement from the dental practice has been found, and no independent corroborating source was identified.
Dark Project is described by threat intelligence sources as an emerging, financially motivated ransomware and data extortion operation first publicly observed in August 2026. Security Arsenal reporting indicates the group’s victim selection is consistent with opportunistic, affiliate-driven targeting of organizations with weak perimeter security. The group has been associated with double-extortion tactics — exfiltrating data before encrypting systems. All details about this incident originate solely from the attacker’s own leak-site claim.
