About Gerrity Stone

The company specializes in custom granite, marble, and quartz products for residential and commercial projects — including kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, and outdoor living spaces — and operates the largest natural stone inventory in New England. It is also an authorized Cambria quartz fabricator. The company employs between 11 and 50 people and is privately held.
What Happened?
On October 3rd, 2026, Ransomware.live reported that the ransomware group The Gentlemen claimed Gerrity Stone as a victim. The claim appeared on The Gentlemen’s dark web leak site and was secondarily indexed by HackNotice. This is an attacker-side allegation only. No confirmation from Gerrity Stone, any regulatory body, or an independent news source has been found. The attacker’s post included company profile information apparently drawn from public sources such as ZoomInfo, but did not specify any stolen data types, data volume, or breach dates. The exact scope of any potential exposure remains unknown.
The Gentlemen is a financially motivated ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) group that first appeared around July 2025 and is also tracked by Microsoft as Storm-2697. The group employs a double-extortion model — combining data theft with encryption — and has claimed hundreds of victims globally across sectors including healthcare, technology, and construction. No prior cybersecurity incidents involving Gerrity Stone have been found in available sources, and no litigation connected to this ransomware claim has been identified.
