About the Fulcrumsec group

FulcrumSec is a data extortion group active since approximately September 2025, specializing in high-speed exfiltration of cloud-hosted databases by exploiting unrotated API keys and misconfigured cloud permissions rather than deploying encryption, with known victims including Australian fintech youX and LexisNexis. Fulcrumsec has listed 25 victims since May 2026.

Incident Analysis

IMEVI was targeted by Fulcrumsec ransomware, one of the most active ransomware groups in our database with 26 confirmed victims globally. The attack was disclosed on May 1, 2026, when IMEVI appeared on the group's dark web leak site.

IMEVI is based in Colombia . Colombia ranks #25 globally for ransomware attacks, with 122 victims in our database.

Fulcrumsec typically employs a double extortion model: first exfiltrating sensitive data from the victim's systems, then deploying ransomware to encrypt files. Victims face two simultaneous threats — paying to restore access and paying to prevent publication of stolen data. The group's leak site publishes victim names and exfiltrated data as leverage.

Data source: This incident record is sourced from public ransomware group leak site disclosures aggregated via the ransomware.live API. Disclosure date reflects when the victim was published on the leak site, which may differ from the initial date of compromise. This platform does not publish or link to stolen data.
