What the Other label actually means
Other is a category supplied by the upstream feed, not one invented on this site. It covers claimed organisations that the source classified as falling outside its named sectors. Records the source left unclassified altogether are handled differently and appear in no sector row at all.
Leak-site monitoring recorded the first claim in this category on 9 February 2024. The most recent was recorded on 1 July 2026. INC Ransom, LockBit 3.0, MedusaLocker and Warlock each account for one claimed organisation. The sector shows 1 claim in 2024, 1 in 2025 and 2 in the partial year 2026.
What this means for UAE organisations
- Treat this page as a completeness check rather than as a sector profile, because the label describes the source data and not an industry.
- Use the named sector pages for planning, since those carry a consistent definition of who is counted.
- Map your obligations under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law, which applies federally regardless of how a feed classifies you.
- Read the totals on this site as covering all attributed claims, including these 4 and the unclassified records counted separately.
- Check the methodology page if a figure here appears to conflict with a sector page, because the difference is usually classification rather than counting.
- Expect this category to stay small, given that it has produced 4 claims across the whole record.
