Department of Pension - Sri Lanka, hacked? What's not being talked about.
On April 2nd, 2025, the Sri Lanka Department of Pensions reportedly became the target of a ransomware incident attributed to a group identifying itself as "Cloak." According to publicly visible information, the group claimed responsibility and set a deadline of May 26th, 2025, allegedly demanding a ransom.
Following the deadline, the group published what they claim to be 617GB of data. It is currently unclear whether this data originated from the Department of Pensions, as no official confirmation has been issued regarding the authenticity or sensitivity of the leaked files.
As with any such case, it’s important to approach leaked materials with caution and avoid downloading or redistributing them, as doing so may violate data protection laws.
