Swedish Arts Council

Swedish Arts Council was compromised in a ransomware attack attributed to ransomhouse in October 2025. The organization, operating in the Government sector in Sweden, was added to the group's data leak site as part of an extortion campaign.

ransomhouse 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.
