Baresque Group

Baresque Group was compromised in a ransomware attack attributed to Aurora in April 2026. The organization, operating in an undisclosed sector in Unknown, was added to the group's data leak site as part of an extortion campaign.

Aurora 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.

Baresque Group — a respected commercial-interiors company headquartered in Perth, Australia, with offices in Dallas, Chicago, and Brussels. The exposed material includes: 100+ passport scans, 35 birth certificates, 60+ driver's licences, 50+ TFN declarations — the complete identity-theft toolkit for the entire workforce, spanning Australia, the US, and Europe. Plaintext credentials for every critical system — Microsoft 365, HR platform (Elmo Talent), remote-access gateway (LogMeIn), phone system (3CX), ERP (Jim2) — all in browser-export CSVs and an enterprise-wide Password_Listing.xls that had been sitting on a shared drive since at least 2017. 4 TLS private keys for customer-facing domains — enabling impersonation of the company's websites. 343 GB of product R&D — SolidWorks CAD files, manufacturing specifications, and product blueprints for Zintra acoustic panels, FUNC furniture, botton+gardiner wallcoverings, and Scribblr surfaces. The complete design library. Two years of board packs, financial reports, and cash-flow models — the company's entire strategic and financial position laid bare. Privileged legal documents — active subpoena files, sworn affidavit exhibits, Fair Work Australia tribunal filings, and settlement agreements with confidentiality clauses. Workers compensation medical records naming specific employees with diagnoses, treatment plans, and claim amounts.
