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

About the organisation

What the listing means

YMCA of Columbia appeared on the thegentlemen leak site on 21 May 2026. Groups publish a victim once negotiations stall or as pressure during them, so a listing usually means data was already exfiltrated. This group has published 134 claims in the last 30 days and remains active.

Recommended actions

  • Treat any unsolicited message referencing YMCA of Columbia as suspicious โ€” leaked data gets weaponised for phishing within days.
  • If you hold an account on columbiaymca.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.
