Incident analysis

Femern Link Contractors was listed by Barracuda ransomware, a group with 16 victims recorded in this database. The listing appeared on the group's leak site on October 28, 2026.

Femern Link Contractors is based in Denmark and operates in the Transportation sector. Denmark ranks #41 worldwide for ransomware disclosures, with 72 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.

Barracuda 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files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished.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 .
