Arcandco Listed by Termite Ransomware Group

On February 19, 2025, Arc & Co. appeared on the leak site of the Termite ransomware group after the firm’s internal files were allegedly exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. The London-based specialist financier, founded in 2007, focuses on property, marine, and aviation asset finance; the precise number of individuals whose personal or financial data may have been exposed remains unknown.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates that Termite posted proof of the breach on its dark-web leak portal, listing Arc & Co. as a victim. The data consists of internal files exfiltrated after the ransomware deployment. No confirmed total of records or specific categories such as customer names, loan documents, or payment details has been published. The incident follows the typical ransomware pattern of initial access, encryption, and subsequent data-theft extortion.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a finance company that handles loans, valuations, and personal financial records is breached, the information can reach criminals who combine it with other leaks. Your name, address, date of birth, bank details, or loan application data could surface in follow-on fraud attempts, identity theft, or targeted phishing. For families this often means sudden loan applications taken out in your name, unexpected credit-card charges, or harassing calls from people who already know far too much about your finances.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk

A single breach rarely stays isolated. Criminals map connections between an email address used at Arc & Co., other online accounts, phone numbers, and real-world identities. These chains let attackers move from one compromised service to gaming platforms, social-media profiles, and family-member accounts. Credential leaks like this one cascade into account takeovers and doxxing chains, especially when children’s gaming usernames are linked to the same household email or phone number.

Termite Ransomware Group’s Track Record

Public reporting attributes the attacks to a group known as Termite that emerged in late 2024. The gang has listed multiple mid-sized companies across finance, manufacturing, and professional services. Its standard playbook involves gaining initial network access, deploying ransomware to encrypt systems, exfiltrating sensitive files beforehand, then publishing samples on its leak site when victims refuse to pay. Extortion demands typically combine ransom for decryption keys with separate payments to prevent data release.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, handles, and real identity, then complete the cleanup of exposed records.
• Rotate any password you used at Arc & Co. or related finance portals and enable 2FA through an authenticator app rather than SMS.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak that touches your data is caught within hours.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same address or email.
• Let remediation specialists handle repeated takedown requests across data brokers and leak sites on your behalf.
