Incident analysis

Momentum Logistics was listed by Brotherhood ransomware, a group with 18 victims recorded in this database. The listing appeared on the group's leak site on October 10, 2025.

Momentum Logistics is based in South Africa and operates in the Transportation/Logistics sector. South Africa ranks #31 worldwide for ransomware disclosures, with 111 victims in this database.

Sector context. Logistics companies are targeted because supply chain disruption has cascading effects on customers and partners, amplifying pressure to pay ransoms quickly to restore operations.

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files are encrypted, so the victim faces two demands at once — pay to restore access, and pay to keep stolen data unpublished.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