Threat Actor Statement “100GB data stolen! Droguería Saporiti is a century-old Argentine pharmaceutical wholesaler and manufacturer, founded in 1901 in Buenos Aires, now run by the Otero Pose family with ~110 employees and 8,700 m² of facilities. It’s the silent ‘backbone’ of Argentine pharmacies: 3,500+ products, 7,000+ pharmacy clients, wholesale distribution plus imports/exports of raw materials. Its flagship is the legendary Parafarm brand (‘orange line’ of galenic essentials — vaseline, Pasta Lassar, Agua de Dalibour, hydrogen peroxide) sold nationwide since the 1960s, alongside Sweet Rose, Home Test, Wild Skin and Well Being. It survived a devastating fire in the 1990s and a rough 2014–15 ANMAT season (interjurisdictional trade ban + Parafarm lot withdrawal). Bottom line: a low-profile family institution with huge brand equity — Argentina’s reference house for pharmacy-grade essentials.”

Ransomware attacks are increasingly targeting both enterprise and mid-sized organizations across all sectors. The following steps are critical to reduce impact and prevent future incidents:

  • Monitor continuously: Use DeXpose’s dark web and infostealer monitoring platform to detect breached credentials, leaked databases, and threat actor chatter in near real-time—before damage spreads internally.
  • Conduct a compromise assessment: Immediately initiate a full incident review to determine how attackers infiltrated your network, what data may have been exfiltrated, and whether any persistence mechanisms remain active.
  • Validate your backups: Ensure that your backups are current, encrypted, and stored offline. Utilize immutable backup solutions to defend against ransomware encryption and deletion attempts.
  • Apply threat intelligence: Integrate external threat feeds, including DeXpose-provided indicators of compromise (IOCs), into your SIEM or XDR platforms for real-time alerting and correlation.
  • Harden employee defenses: Run phishing simulations and enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) across all access points. Attackers often exploit weak or reused credentials sourced from the dark web.
  • Engage professional response teams: Involve cybersecurity incident response experts, threat analysts, and legal counsel before initiating any dialogue with ransomware groups or ransom brokers.
