What Happened
Étude Bordet, a Belgian bailiff’s office (gerechtsdeurwaarder) in Liège operating under etudebordet.com, suffered a data breach claimed by the ransomware group DATACARRY, discovered on May 28, 2025 (not 2026). Hackers asserted they stole approximately 750,000 to 1 million records containing sensitive debtor information, including open debts with amounts, domiciliation details, full addresses, names, national registry numbers (rijksregisternummers), and IBAN numbers; this dataset was referenced as part of broader leaks tied to telecom incidents like Odido but originated separately from Étude Bordet. The breach was publicized on dark web platforms in early 2026, with no official confirmation or denial from the company noted in available reports, and it fits DATACARRY’s double-extortion model of data exfiltration without confirmed ransomware deployment. No further details on the attack vector or subsequent impacts were specified.
