Tahkout Group

Tahkout Group was compromised in a ransomware attack attributed to TENGU in January 2026. The organization, operating in the Manufacturing sector in DZ, was added to the group's data leak site as part of an extortion campaign.

TENGU 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.

Tahkout Group is a large Algerian group of companies (sometimes described as a business alliance) founded and run by Mahieddine Tahkout, a well-known Algerian businessman in the automotive, transport, real estate and industrial sectors.
