Forus Listed as LockBit5 Victim in Chile

LockBit added Forus, the Santiago-based Chilean apparel and footwear retailer, to its leak site as a victim. Ransomware.live also replicated the reference and marked forus.cl as a LockBit5 victim, with the discovery and attack dates estimated for Sept. 18, 2026.

What do public trackers show about the case?

Ransomware.live linked the incident to forus.cl and added exposure indicators tied to the case, including 2 compromised employees, 40 compromised users, 20 third-party credentials and 12 external attack surface assets. ZeroHour also listed forus.cl as a LockBit5 tracker page, while Breach House included it among its LockBit5 victims in Chile.

That overlap across open-source intelligence feeds reinforces that the attribution comes from the public leak infrastructure. A source cited by Pulse in Kalir.io also said Forus appears tied to data publication as a Chilean victim listed by LockBit, although that attribution rests on the leak site and not on independent confirmation from the company.

What is known about the affected company?

Forus is a Chilean clothing and footwear retailer based in Santiago. Ground.news indexed a Diario Estrategia report titled "Forus Was Affected by Cybersecurity Incident," which says the company reportedly acknowledged that some of its computer systems were affected.

Based on the material available, there are no public details about the attack techniques, initial access, or internal scope beyond what the trackers show and the reference to affected systems. The verifiable information points to the company’s presence in the leak ecosystem and to exposure indicators already recorded by monitoring services.
