Threat actor thegentlemen claimed responsibility for a ransomware incident targeting SATS Sports Club Sweden, alleging data theft and threatening to publish the stolen information. The claim suggests a breach affecting SATS’s operations in Sweden and potentially across its Nordic network.
SATS is the largest fitness chain in the Nordics, founded in Sweden in 1995 with a mission to make people healthier and happier. Operating under the brands SATS, ELIXIA, and Fresh Fitness, the group runs over 274 clubs across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, serving 733,000 members with 10,000 employees. It is also one of the five largest fitness operators in Europe, offering gym facilities, group classes, personal training, and digital fitness tools. #Sweden
