Unverified claim. This entry reproduces a listing published by the akira group on its own extortion site. Attackers routinely exaggerate or fabricate victims. Nothing here confirms that Manhattan Broadcasting suffered a breach, or what data was actually taken.

About the organisation

Manhattan Broadcasting Company is a leading source of local and regional news, sports, weather, and entertainment in Northeast Kansas, engaging over 100,000 listeners weekly. We will upload of corporate data soon. Employee personal informatics, contracts, lots of pictur es and other files.

What the listing means

Manhattan Broadcasting appeared on the akira leak site on 12 May 2026. Groups publish a victim once negotiations stall or as pressure during them, so a listing usually means data was already exfiltrated β€” the attack itself is dated 06 May 2026, 6 days before the listing. This group has published 21 claims in the last 30 days and remains active.

Recommended actions

  • Treat any unsolicited message referencing Manhattan Broadcasting as suspicious β€” leaked data gets weaponised for phishing within days.
  • If you hold an account on manhattanbroadcasting.com, change that password now, update it anywhere you reused it, and enable two-factor authentication.
  • Other Telecommunication 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 β€” check the organisation's own disclosures before acting on it.
