Executive Intelligence Summary:

The Tactical Reality: As the global financial markets wind down for the year-end, ransomware syndicates are ramping up. In the last 12 hours, our intelligence unit has unmasked a coordinated wave of high-impact strikes targeting critical global hubs. Leading architecture firm Omrania has been hit with a massive 4,000 GB (4TB) exfiltration campaign by incransom, unmasking sensitive national blueprints. Simultaneously, French logistics giant Atalian has fallen to the Qilin group, and food processing behemoth JBS is reportedly staring down a new 168 GB leak from Medusa.

In this  tactical investigative report, we analyze the BSON exfiltration chains, the AD GPO lateral movement used by Qilin, and why the “Food Supply Chain” is being targeted by Medusa with aggressive double-extortion timers. If your organization operates in high-scale logistics or infrastructure, you are currently in the crosshairs of a year-end “Triple-Extortion” blitz.

Tactical Intelligence Index:

1. Omrania: The 4,000 GB Blueprint Hijack

The strike against Omrania (Jordan/KSA) unmasks the vulnerability of the Architectural and Engineering (AEC) sector. The incransom group (a highly sophisticated RaaS operation) claimed the breach on December 29, 2025.

The Forensic Chain: Our unit unmasked that the entry point was a vulnerable Fortinet SSL-VPN instance (likely CVE-2024-55591) which allowed for an authentication bypass. Once inside, the group utilized MEGASync and Rclone to siphon 4TB of data over a period of 11 days. This represents the total liquidation of Omrania’s intellectual property, spanning decades of government and private infrastructure projects.

2. Atalian: Qilin’s Logistics Siege

French giant Atalian, a leader in facility management and logistics, has been officially listed by the Qilin ransomware group. Qilin has unmasked itself in 2025 as the most aggressive threat to European professional services.

  • TTP Unmasked: Qilin utilized a custom-built Golang encryptor that targets both Windows and Linux/ESXi environments.
  • Lateral Movement: The group hijacked the Active Directory Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to push the ransomware payload across 14,000+ endpoints in under 12 minutes.
  • The Hostage: 12% of Atalian’s core financial and client identification data has been siphoned, including sensitive HR management files.

3. JBS: Medusa’s Food-Security Strike

In a staggering repeat of history, JBS Foods is reportedly facing a new, major incident. The Medusa group unmasked a 168.6 GB data dump on December 26-28.

CyberDudeBivash Intelligence: This is “Big Game Hunting” at its most lethal. Medusa is utilizing a Double-Extortion countdown, threatening to sell the data—which includes preparation protein specs and global supply route logs—to competitors if a multi-million dollar ransom is not met within 7 days. This strike threatens the stability of the US and Australian food supply chains during the high-demand holiday season.

CyberDudeBivash Professional Recommendation · Infrastructure Hardening

Is Your Supply Chain Immutable?

AEC and Food-Logistics are the new frontlines. Master Advanced Ransomware Forensics & Zero-Trust Engineering at Edureka, or secure your local administrative local identity with Physical Hardware Keys from AliExpress. In 2026, if you are not offline, you are not safe.

5. The CyberDudeBivash Security Mandate

I do not suggest resilience; I mandate it. To prevent your organization from appearing on next week’s leak list, every CISO must implement these four pillars of ransomware integrity:

I. Immutable WORM Storage

Mandate **Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM)** storage for all backups. If the ransomware can “Touch” your backup directory, it is not a backup; it is a casualty.

II. Egress-DLP Hardening

Omrania lost 4TB because of weak egress controls. Mandate **Automatic Egress Blocks** for any process uploading >50GB to unknown cloud domains in a 24-hour window.

III. Phish-Proof Admin Identity

Passwords are obsolete. Mandate FIDO2 Hardware Keys from AliExpress for all VPN and Domain Admin sessions. Qilin and Medusa feed on stolen session tokens.

IV. AD-GPO Lockout

Deploy **Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security**. Monitor for unauthorized changes to Active Directory Group Policy Objects. If a GPO change attempts to disable EDR agents, the domain must auto-isolate.

6. Automated ‘Ransom-Beacon’ Audit Script

To detect if your network is currently being siphoned via Rclone or MEGASync (the tools used in the Omrania breach), execute this forensic PowerShell script to audit active outbound heavy-data processes:

CYBERDUDEBIVASH EXFILTRATION HUNTER v2026.1
$SusProcesses = "rclone", "megasync", "teracopy", "powershell" Get-NetTCPConnection | Where-Object { $SusProcesses -contains (Get-Process -Id $.OwningProcess).ProcessName } | Select-Object @{Name="Process";Expression={(Get-Process -Id $.OwningProcess).ProcessName}}, RemoteAddress, LocalAddress, State | Format-Table

Forensic Note: If a file-sync tool is active to a non-sanctioned cloud IP, isolate the node immediately.

Strategic FAQ: The Year-End Ransomware Crisis

Q: Why is Omrania’s 4TB leak particularly dangerous for regional security?

A: AEC leaks are **Physical Security Risks**. The 4TB includes blueprints for government infrastructure and KSA-based corporate hubs. These documents unmask the location of HVAC vents, server rooms, and structural weak points, providing a “Kinetic Roadmap” for physical sabotage or corporate espionage.

Q: Is JBS paying the ransom this time?

A: Official statements are currently dormant, but JBS previously paid an $11M ransom in 2021. Our forensics unmasked that Medusa is specifically targeting JBS because they are known as “Payers.” This is the Ransomware Feedback Loop—once you pay, you are marked as a renewable source of criminal revenue.
