Unverified claim.
This entry reproduces a listing published by the qilin group on its own extortion site.
Attackers routinely exaggerate or fabricate victims. Nothing here confirms that
Clearwater Marine Aquarium suffered a breach, or what data was actually taken.
What the listing means
Clearwater Marine Aquarium appeared on the qilin leak site on 15 April 2026. Groups publish a victim once negotiations stall or as pressure during them, so a listing usually means data was already exfiltrated โ the attack itself is dated 13 April 2026, 2 days before the listing. This group has published 118 claims in the last 30 days and remains active.
Recommended actions
- Treat any unsolicited message referencing Clearwater Marine Aquarium as suspicious โ leaked data gets weaponised for phishing within days.
- If you hold an account on www.cmaquarium.org, change that password now, update it anywhere you reused it, and enable two-factor authentication.
- Other Consumer Services organisations should review this group's known TTPs and validate detection coverage against them.
- Watch for follow-on extortion: stolen data is often re-leaked or resold after the initial listing.
- A leak-site listing is a claim made by the attacker, not a confirmed breach โ check the organisation's own disclosures before acting on it.
