On May 23, 2025, American Biltrite Far East Inc. (ABFE), a Singapore-based manufacturer of pressure-sensitive adhesives used in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications, appeared on the leak site of the lynx Ransomware Group. The listing indicates that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack, although the exact number of people whose personal information may have been exposed remains unknown.
Already exposed?
You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.
A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates that ABFE’s data was posted to the lynx leak site hosted at an onion address. The company, which operates from Singapore and supplies adhesives for sectors including HVAC, graphics, shoe manufacturing, and surface protection, had internal files taken. No specific volume of records or list of exposed data types has been publicly detailed beyond the general statement of internal files exfiltrated. The incident follows the group’s typical pattern of publishing victim data after an initial compromise and unsuccessful ransom negotiation.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a company that handles supplier, customer, or employee information is breached, the ripple effects often reach ordinary people. Your name, address, phone number, email, or payment details could be among the internal files now circulating on dark-web forums. Once that information is loose, it can be sold, traded, or used to target you with phishing, identity theft, or harassment. For families, a single breach can expose not only parents but also children whose school records, medical notes, or family contact details sit in the same shared systems.
Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into account takeovers across other services where the same email and password are reused. Gaming accounts belonging to you or your children are especially vulnerable because they often rely on personal email addresses and are prime targets for doxxing and extortion.
