jichasa.com is based in Mexico. Mexico ranks #12 worldwide for ransomware disclosures, with 291 victims in this database.

M3rx 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files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished.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.
