Clop Ransomware group claims the breach of The Washington Post

Posted on November 6, 2025 by Dissent

Pierluigi Paganini reports:

The Clop Ransomware group announced the hack of the prestigious American daily newspaper The Washington Post. The cybercrime group created a page for the university on its Tor data leak site and announced it will leak the stolen data soon.

The group claimed the company was breached due to its neglect of security, despite its responsibility to protect customers.

“The company doesn’t care about its customers, it ignored their security!!!”

In mid-October, the Clop Ransomware group claimed the breach of The Washington Post and added the American daily newspaper to its Tor data leak site.

DataBreaches notes that Clop’s indignant, “The company doesn’t care…” message is standard issue for it for each victim that doesn’t pay them.
