DragonForce claims to have compromised the systems of Edifice Design + Architecture in the United States and is threatening to encrypt data and leak sensitive client and design files unless a ransom is paid. The claim frames the attack as a disruption to the built environment industry, warning that architectural plans and project information could be exposed if payment is not made. #UnitedStates
