Ransomware Attack Hits Independent Title Agency, 932GB of Data Leaked
What happened
New York–based Independent Title Agency suffered a ransomware attack on April 17, 2025, but details only came to light this week. The SKIRA TEAM threat group claimed responsibility, stating it stole 932GB of sensitive internal data. The company is facing legal scrutiny as investigators confirm that personal data such as names, Social Security numbers, and real estate transaction records may have been compromised.
What information was at risk
Stolen data includes Social Security numbers, property deeds, closing documents, driver’s license copies, and other identifying records tied to real estate transactions. The breach is considered serious due to the financial nature of the documents involved.
Why it matters
Real estate fraud and title theft are growing cybercrimes. Leaked documents like these can enable mortgage fraud or impersonation. Victims may not even realize their identity has been misused until years later.
How Cyber Privacy Suite can help
Cyber Privacy Suite offers tools to detect exposed documents and identity data on your device and on the dark web. With dark web scanning, document scanner, and real-time tracking blockers, it adds a layer of prevention against misuse before it happens.
