Hansa Research Group Pvt. Ltd Data Breach

Hansa Research Group Pvt. Ltd, a business services organization based in India, has been listed as a victim by the Morpheus ransomware group. The listing was published on July 6, 2026, and identified through SOCRadar’s Dark Web Monitoring. The company operates in the market and consumer research sector. Morpheus has recently targeted organizations in the business services, financial services, and technology sectors, with a geographical focus on India and Denmark. Hansa Research Group aligns with this pattern, fitting both the most-targeted sector and the group’s focus on Indian organizations.

SOCRadar’s analysis of stealer-log telemetry revealed a significant exposure for the hansaresearch.com domain. A sample contained 25 records, including corporate credentials for organizational and identity systems, third-party SaaS accounts, and customer/generic accounts on the company’s domain. Key targets included Microsoft 365/Azure AD, internal corporate portals, and corporate Zoom tenant logins, indicating direct access risk to core identity infrastructure. A recurring user across multiple services with a potential password reuse pattern was observed. The log dates clustered between mid-June and July 6, 2026, suggesting recent and active credential harvesting. Infostealer-harvested credentials are a known initial access vector for ransomware groups like Morpheus. While this does not definitively confirm Morpheus used these credentials, the data strongly aligns with their typical kill chain. CTI teams are advised to prioritize password resets, session revocation, endpoint forensics for stealer malware, and enforce phishing-resistant MFA and conditional access policies.
