Kairos Ransomware Group Claims Australian Retail Firm Leisure Coast Kitchens on Its Leak Site

ransomware.live · 17 Sept 2026

Key Takeaway Australian retail and trade businesses should ensure strong backups, staff cyber awareness training and incident response plans, since ransomware groups often target small and medium businesses regardless of whether a listed claim is verified.

A ransomware group known as kairos has added Leisure Coast Kitchens, a company that designs and installs custom kitchens, laundries and bathrooms, to its leak site. This listing was identified by ransomware.live, a public tracker that monitors criminal leak sites. It is important to note that nothing in the listing has been independently verified, and Leisure Coast Kitchens has not confirmed any cyber incident.

Ransomware groups regularly post company names to pressure victims during negotiations, and these claims are not always accurate. Some listed businesses were never breached, while others may have been named in error. Until confirmed by the company or independent investigators, this listing should be treated as an unverified claim rather than fact.
