London-based architectural firm T-Space Architects may find itself at the center of a significant cyberattack. The ransomware group Cicada3301 has reportedly added T-Space to its growing list of victims, threatening to expose 50 GB of sensitive company data.
If the claims are confirmed, the attack could disrupt the firm’s operations and put client information at serious risk.
T-Space Architects is known for its bespoke architectural solutions , delivering innovative designs across a range of sectors, including residential, commercial, and public projects. Their work emphasizes sustainability, cutting-edge design, and collaboration, making them a key player in London’s architectural scene. The firm handles complex planning applications and manages large-scale projects, often working closely with high-profile clients. This places them in possession of critical and confidential data such as client financial records, project blueprints, and other sensitive documents, all of which could be valuable to cybercriminals.

A leak of this nature, involving detailed architectural plans, invoices, and client contracts, could severely damage the firm’s reputation, especially considering their emphasis on handling complex, high-value projects with precision and confidentiality.
The documents allegedly posted by Cicada3301 include financial records, architectural designs , and client contracts from companies such as Barclays and Wilson Demesh Ltd, among others. If these materials are genuine, the breach could compromise not only the firm’s operations but also the sensitive information of their clients. Given T-Space’s involvement in large-scale projects, the leaked data may reveal details about critical infrastructure and intellectual property.
Cicada3301’s Data Broker ransomware model, which doesn’t simply lock a victim’s files but exfiltrates and sells them on the dark web, could cause long-term damage to T-Space. If the company does not engage with the ransom demands, the stolen data could be sold to third parties, leading to permanent loss of proprietary designs and client privacy violations .
As of now, T-Space Architects has not commented on the alleged breach. If the company chooses not to negotiate, the 50 GB of stolen data could soon be leaked, leading to serious reputational damage and potentially severe consequences for their clients. Firms like T-Space, which deal with significant amounts of confidential project data , may need to reassess their cybersecurity measures to avoid similar incidents in the future.
For now, the architectural industry watches as the situation unfolds, with the hope that T-Space Architects can manage the crisis without losing the trust of their clients and stakeholders. The case serves as a stark reminder that even industries traditionally seen as less vulnerable to cyberattacks must stay vigilant in today’s increasingly digital world.
