Birmingham Museum of Art

Birmingham Museum of Art was compromised in a ransomware attack attributed to termite in February 2026. The organization, operating in an undisclosed sector in United States, was added to the group's data leak site as part of an extortion campaign.

termite 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.

The Birmingham Museum of Art in Alabama features a vast collection of over 27,000 artworks and offers free admission to visitors. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday and hosts various exhibitions and events throughout the year. It serves a diverse audience, including families, students, and art enthusiasts, providing educational resources and opportunities for engagement.
