In April 2026, the DragonForce ransomware group claimed it breached Gelatissimo, the Australian artisanal gelato franchise, and listed the company on its dark web leak site. In this episode of Tech Talks with Kinsoft, we cover what the group alleges it took — around 352GB of data, with sample screenshots showing employee payroll details, partial tax file numbers, and a visa application containing a passport number — the extortion threat to publish the data, and Gelatissimo's response, including engaging cyber security experts and notifying the OAIC and the Australian Cyber Security Centre. We flag throughout where claims are alleged rather than confirmed.
