Incident analysis

Agro Baggio LTDA was listed by Knight ransomware, a group with 10 victims recorded in this database. The listing appeared on the group's leak site on January 7, 2024.

Agro Baggio LTDA is based in Brazil and operates in the Agriculture and Food Production sector. Brazil ranks #7 worldwide for ransomware disclosures, with 514 victims in this database.

Sector context. Organisations in this sector hold valuable data and operational systems that ransomware groups seek to exploit for financial gain through encryption and data exfiltration.

Knight typically follows a double extortion model: data is exfiltrated from the victim's systems before files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished. The leak site, where this listing appeared, is the lever for the second demand.

Source. Public leak-site disclosures aggregated via the ransomware.live API. The disclosure date is when the listing was published, which can differ from the date of compromise. This site does not publish or link to stolen data. Last updated .
