2026 Iron Mountain — Everest extortion claims vs vendor: single folder on public file-share; marketing materials

Early February 2026 reporting described the Everest cybercrime group marketing roughly 1.4 TB of alleged Iron Mountain internal material while Iron Mountain told outlets that a lone compromised credential accessed one folder on a public-facing third-party file-sharing site consisting primarily of marketing assets shared with vendors, with no ransomware deployment and no broader Iron Mountain system breach in the vendor’s public framing. Press treated the gap between criminal marketing and corporate down-scope language as the central narrative.
