BYOD

BYOD is a ransomware and data-extortion group associated with attacks against organizations in the United States and Malaysia. Its identified targets include Trump Mobile, Standpointe / Trinite Solutions, Franklin Empire, and Royal Selangor, spanning telecommunications, professional services, and manufacturing. No geographic origin or state affiliation has been established.

BYOD uses a dark-web leak site to publicize victims and expose personal and business information. Its extortion messages threaten publication of stolen data and offer removal of victim listings after contact is established. Personal information attributed to Trump Mobile customers was published, and several affected individuals confirmed the accuracy of their listed details. The group's operations emphasize data exposure as leverage, but system encryption has not been confirmed in these incidents. Its initial-access methods, malware tooling, and claims of continued access remain unverified.
