A ransomware group called Anubis says it attacked Mynd, a California property management company, and claims to hold property owners’ personal data. Mynd has not confirmed the claim.
What Anubis Claims About Mynd
Mynd Management, Inc. is a tech-enabled real estate company based in Oakland, California. It manages single-family rental homes for individual owners and larger investors in markets across the United States. Its website says it handles leasing, maintenance and rent collection, and runs online portals for owners, residents, applicants and vendors.
On October 9, 2026, Anubis added Mynd to its leak site, according to the ransomware tracking services ransomware.live and SOCRadar. A leak site is a web page where a criminal group names the companies it says it attacked, often to pressure them into paying. SOCRadar ties the listing to Mynd’s web address, mynd.co.
Anubis describes the data it claims to have as “property owners’ personal data,” according to ransomware.live. The group has not said how much data it holds or how many people it covers. Mynd has not confirmed that Anubis took any data.
What Mynd Has Said So Far
As of October 20, 2026, Mynd has not posted a public statement about a cyber incident. Emery | Reddy has not found a Notice of Data Breach letter, a filing with the California Attorney General or another state regulator, or news coverage of the claim.
That means several key facts remain unknown:
- Whether an attack happened and when Mynd learned of it
- Whether any personal information was taken, and whose
- How many owners, residents or applicants could be affected
- Whether Mynd will offer credit monitoring or other help
Companies often need weeks or months to investigate before they send notice letters. A leak-site claim can come well before any official notice.
Who Is Anubis?
Anubis is a ransomware-as-a-service group, meaning its leaders rent out their hacking tools to partners who carry out attacks and share the profits. Security firm Bitsight reports that the group was first identified in November 2024. Bitsight also reports that Anubis malware can wipe files so that they cannot be recovered, even if a victim pays.
Groups like Anubis often use “double extortion.” They copy files before locking a company’s systems, then threaten to publish the files unless the company pays.
Why a Property Manager Claim Raises Concern
Mynd has not said what information, if any, was involved. In general, though, property management companies tend to hold sensitive records for several groups of people:
- Owners: names, contact details, bank account details for rent deposits, and tax information used for year-end tax forms
- Residents and applicants: rental applications, which can include Social Security numbers, income and employment details, and photo ID
- Vendors: contact, payment and tax details
This is a general description of the industry, not a list of what was involved at Mynd. If such records were exposed, they could be used for identity theft or financial fraud. Only Mynd’s own investigation can confirm what, if anything, was affected.
People who worked for, bought from, or were customers of Mynd can take simple steps now:
- Watch bank statements, including any account that receives rent payments
- Consider a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion
- Be wary of emails, texts or calls that mention Mynd or a cyber attack
- Keep any letter or email Mynd sends about this incident
Do You Have Legal Options?
Companies that collect personal and financial information from property owners and renters have a legal duty to protect it. If Mynd confirms that personal information was exposed, affected individuals may have legal rights and remedies.
