ddosecretThis record tracks a ransomware attack claimed by the ddosecret group against Free Speech Union donor data. It collects the publicly disclosed attack details — sector, location and timeline — as published on the operator's leak site and indexed by Breach House.
Window Zero
EXPOSURE GAPWindow Zero is the time the breach stayed in the open before anyone said so — the gap between when the attack was first discovered on the operator's leak site (t1) and when it was publicly disclosed (t2). The wider this window, the longer victims, staff and customers were exposed with no warning.
Attack Summary
The Free Speech Union donor data comprises leaked records of individuals who donated £50 or more to the British membership organisation's crowdfunding campaigns, exposing funding from ultra-wealthy supporters rather than grassroots citizens. This data, originating from the UK, reveals donations to campaigns defending controversial figures and includes contributions exceeding £10,000 from specific ultra-wealthy individuals. The Free Speech Union, founded in 2020 by Toby Young, campaigns for freedom of speech and defends the speech rights of its members across the UK. The leaked records were published by BASH BACK and subsequently distributed by Distributed Denial of Secrets, highlighting the organisation's reliance on deep-pocketed donors. This entity was listed as a ransomware victim associated with the ddosecret threat actor.
