The US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed that one of its systems was compromised after the Qilin ransomware group added the agency to its dark-web leak portal. The ATF described the affected asset as a standalone system operating separately from its enterprise network, said it had terminated connections to the environment, and confirmed that incident-response and forensic work is running with the Department of Justice; it said there is no indication that the eForms system or any other ATF system was affected.
