Nova (RALord) Claims Responsibility for Ransomware Attack Against the Cisneros Organization

The Nova ransomware group (formerly known as RALord) posted the Cisneros Organization, the Venezuelan-based media and entertainment conglomerate, on its leak site on January 11, 2026, claiming to have accessed its systems and stolen internal business information. Ransomware trackers (ransomware.live and ransomlook.io) classify the victim as being from Venezuela, although its headquarters are currently located in Miami. There has been no official confirmation from the company.
