Chain IQ Group AG

Chain IQ Group AG, also referred to as Chain IQ, is a corporate entity with its headquarters located in Switzerland. The organization operates under the legal name Chain IQ Group AG and is recognized by both aliases in public communications. As a Swiss‑based company, it is subject to the regulatory environment of the country where it is registered. Publicly available information identifies it as a group organization, though specific details of its core business activities are not disclosed in the provided sources.

On 12 June 2025, Chain IQ Group AG was the target of a cyberattack that also impacted nineteen other organizations, employing tools and techniques that had not been previously observed. The intrusion resulted in the exfiltration of certain customer data, which was later published on the dark web, while the attackers specifically obtained employee business contact details such as internal telephone numbers. No core business information or bank‑related data were reported as compromised during the incident. Upon detecting the breach, the company activated its internal security protocols and engaged its outsourced partners InfoGuard and Kyndryl to assist with the response. Law‑enforcement authorities were also involved to support containment and investigation efforts. The attackers’ access was revoked after approximately nine hours, halting the intrusion. Affected customers, employees, and partners were promptly notified, and the firm stated that normal operations continued without disruption.
