Festina Group
Attack Intelligence
Festina Group was compromised in a ransomware attack attributed to panzer in August 2026. The organization, operating in the Retail & E-Commerce sector in Switzerland, was added to the group's data leak site as part of an extortion campaign.
panzer operates as a financially motivated ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation, exfiltrating sensitive data and threatening public disclosure to pressure victims into paying ransom demands.

They blend Swiss watchmaking traditions with modern design, creating timepieces that mix classic craftsmanship with contemporary style.
