Comin Sac Listed by The Gentlemen Ransomware Group
If you are a customer of Comin Sac, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.
comin.pe Buenaventura Peru's largest publicly-traded precious metals miner — founded in 1953 by Alberto Benavides, now run by the third generation of the family (CEO Leopoldo Benavides), and the first Peruvian company ever listed on the NYSE (BVN, 1996). Its portfolio: underground gold-silver mines (founding Julcani, Yumpag silver star ramping to 10.5M oz/yr, Orcopampa with its new 920m "La Capitana" incline), the ramping open-pit El Agrepión (~200 koz gold-equivalent/yr from 2026), and 71.95% of El Brocal — Peru's largest underground mine, whose Transteki ex

Your account details with Comin Sac may now be part of an unverified extortion attempt. The Gentlemen ransomware group has listed the Peruvian precious-metals miner on its leak site, claiming it holds data taken from the company. Comin Sac has not publicly confirmed the claim as of this writing.

What a Leak-Site Listing Actually Means
The Gentlemen posted Comin Sac on September 07, 2026. The record does not name any specific categories of information, does not say how many people were affected, and does not provide an incident date. This is an accusation published by an extortion crew whose business model depends on pressure and embarrassment. Many such listings turn out to be recycled data from older incidents, exaggerated claims, or sometimes fabricated entirely to force a payment.
Real confirmation would require the company itself to acknowledge the incident, regulators to issue notices, or direct contact from Comin Sac to affected individuals. Until then, this remains an unproven claim. The absence of detail in the listing itself is common: attackers rarely publish inventories that could be independently verified. What you are seeing is marketing material designed to create urgency, not an audited disclosure.

Your Situation If the Claim Is Accurate
Because the filing lists no specific data fields, it is impossible to know what, if anything, was taken. The record states nothing about passwords, so the storage scheme used by Comin Sac remains unknown. If a password field was included and the company stored credentials with strong, slow hashing, cracking attempts would be expensive and slow. If weak or unsalted storage was used, the risk is higher. Without disclosure, treat your Comin Sac password as potentially compromised and change it immediately on that account and anywhere else you reused it.
No permanent government or biographic identifiers are confirmed in this record. That limits some of the long-term identity risks that appear in other incidents. However, if customer records were taken, they could still contain contact details, account history, or commercial information that an attacker might use for targeted phishing or further extortion attempts against the company or its customers.
The Pattern in the Precious-Metals Sector
Ransomware and extortion groups have repeatedly targeted mining companies, particularly in Latin America. Operational disruption in precious-metals production carries high financial leverage, which makes these firms attractive for double-extortion tactics. Listing victims on leak sites is standard theater in this industry pattern: the goal is usually to force negotiation rather than to immediately dump every record. Whether this specific listing follows that pattern or is an outlier is unknown. What matters for you is that similar claims appear regularly; the next one may involve a supplier, partner, or another company whose systems hold some of your data.
What You Can Still Control
Even when a claim is unverified, taking basic protective steps costs little and reduces future risk.
- Change your Comin Sac password immediately and do not reuse it anywhere. Use a unique, strong password generated by a manager.
- Enable multi-factor authentication on the Comin Sac account and every other service that offers it. This blocks most credential-stuffing attempts even if a password may have been exposed.
- Review recent account statements and transaction history with Comin Sac for any activity you do not recognize. Set up alerts for unusual logins or changes.
- Be extremely wary of unsolicited contact claiming to be from Comin Sac, especially emails or calls that reference this incident or ask you to verify credentials.
- Monitor your credit reports and accounts for the next 12 months even though no identifiers were listed. Fraud can still appear through indirect routes.
Comin Sac is required to notify individuals directly if their information was involved. If you have not received a letter, it usually means you were not in the affected group, but anyone who has changed address since the company last updated its records should contact them directly to confirm their status.
