CreateASoft Listed by Akira Ransomware Group

The group known as Akira has listed CreateASoft on its leak site. According to the listing, the ransomware crew says it obtained corporate data belonging to the Illinois-based software company, which provides process improvement and predictive technology solutions. The company has not publicly confirmed the claim as of writing.

This means the only thing established so far is that an extortion group has posted a claim. No independent party has verified that a breach occurred, that any files were taken, or that customer information was involved. The record gives no count of affected individuals and does not list specific categories of data. It simply states the group intends to publish “corporate data” including employee and customer files, contacts, agreements, financials, and projects.

What a Leak-Site Listing Actually Establishes

Ransomware groups routinely publish unverified listings on leak sites as a pressure tactic while negotiations are underway or after they fail. These postings are marketing material produced by the attacker. They frequently contain recycled data from older incidents, exaggerated claims, or screenshots that do not prove access to live customer systems. Many listings never result in any confirmed compromise of personal information.

Real confirmation would require one of three things: an admission or detailed notification from CreateASoft itself, a regulatory filing that matches the claim, or independent forensic evidence released by a credible third party. Until one of those appears, this remains an accusation, not an established breach. The absence of confirmation does not prove the group is lying, but it also does not prove they are telling the truth. Treat the listing as a data point that warrants vigilance, not as settled fact about CreateASoft’s environment.

The Current Pattern in Software and B2B Services

Software vendors and business-to-business service firms have become frequent targets for ransomware-extortion crews. Attackers know these organizations often hold contracts, financial documents, and contact lists that can be used to pressure both the victim company and its customers. The tactic is simple: threaten to release the material unless payment is made, then publish a listing when talks collapse. The descriptions provided on leak sites are deliberately vague — “corporate data,” “employee and customer files,” “financials” — because the goal is leverage, not transparency.

For you as a customer or former customer, this pattern means you cannot rely on the company’s silence as proof that nothing happened. It also means you should not automatically assume the worst. The listing itself gives you no way to know whether your specific records were included. Only direct notification from CreateASoft can answer that question.

How to Check Whether Your Information Is Involved

The standard channel remains a letter or email sent by the organization to the last known address or account contact. If you have not received any communication from CreateASoft about this matter, it is likely that your records were not part of any affected group. However, if you have changed address since the company last updated its records, the notice may have gone to an old location. In that case, contact CreateASoft directly through official support channels and ask whether your account appears in any incident they are investigating.

Use a unique, strong password you have never used anywhere else. Enable multi-factor authentication on the account if the option is available. These steps limit what an attacker could do even if the claimed data is genuine.

Monitor your accounts and credit reports for any unexpected activity. Treat any unsolicited contact claiming to be from CreateASoft with extra caution and verify it through known official channels.
