What Happened?
Tiseo Paving was listed as a victim in a ransomware leak-site allegation reported by Ransomware.live. On August 25th, 2026, the ransomware group Global Secret Group posted a claim on its dark web leak site alleging that it had exfiltrated 457 GB of data from Tiseo Paving, described as 83,932 files across 10,829 folders. The claim was independently indexed by multiple ransomware-tracking platforms, including RansomLook and Ransom-DB. No public confirmation or acknowledgment from Tiseo Paving has been found, no regulatory filings or attorney general notices have been identified, and no corroborating news reports are available. The attacker-side claim should be treated as an unverified allegation only. No specific data types — such as Social Security numbers, financial records, or employee personal information — have been identified by any source as compromised in this incident.
Global Secret Group is a ransomware and data-extortion threat actor active in 2026, characterized by security researchers as conducting double-extortion campaigns against commercial entities across the United States and Europe. EclecticIQ analysts assess with medium confidence that Global Secret Group was likely established as a rebranding of the BlackLock ransomware-as-a-service operation, which was previously linked to the Mamona ransomware. The group has claimed more than 202,000 victims on its leak site, though researchers have not verified those figures. No prior breaches or litigation involving Tiseo Paving were found.
