About the Lamashtu group

Lamashtu is an extortion group that first appeared in April 2026, claiming attacks against organizations in France, Romania, and Thailand across energy, pharmaceutical, and film sectors; it has not yet been confirmed as operating actual file-encrypting ransomware rather than pure data-theft extortion. Lamashtu has listed 48 victims since April 2026.

Incident analysis

Great Foods was listed by Lamashtu ransomware, a group with 63 victims recorded in this database. The listing appeared on the group's leak site on June 17, 2026.

Great Foods is based in Egypt and operates in the Agriculture and Food Production sector. Egypt ranks #40 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.

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files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished.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

Which ransomware group attacked Great Foods?

Great Foods was attacked by Lamashtu ransomware. Lamashtu is one of the most active ransomware groups, having claimed 63 victims globally. The group typically employs a double-extortion model: encrypting the victim's files and threatening to publish stolen data.

How can organisations protect against Lamashtu attacks?

To defend against Lamashtu and similar threat actors, organisations should: maintain regular offline backups tested for restoration; implement network segmentation to limit lateral movement; deploy multi-factor authentication on all remote access; use endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools; conduct regular phishing and security awareness training; and monitor threat intelligence feeds for indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with active groups.
