On May 27, 2024, the French architecture firm Architecture LEJEUNE GIOVANELLI appeared on the public leak site operated by the 8base ransomware group. The listing states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack on the company, which specializes in building development, renovation, repair, and reconstruction.

Details from the 8base Listing
The primary disclosure on the 8base leak site indicates that Architecture LEJEUNE GIOVANELLI suffered a ransomware incident in which attackers successfully exfiltrated internal files before encrypting systems. No specific volume of records is provided, nor does the listing name the exact files or databases involved. The disclosure simply states that data was taken and is now held by the group, with the standard threat that it will be published if the company does not meet the extortion demand. Public mirrors of the leak site, such as ransomware.live, preserve this entry exactly as posted.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When an architecture or renovation firm is breached, the exposed internal files often contain contracts, client contact details, payment records, insurance information, and correspondence that can include names, addresses, phone numbers, and email accounts of ordinary homeowners and their families. If your renovation project, home addition, or building permit involved this firm, your personal information may now sit in an attacker-controlled archive. Internal files exfiltrated in such attacks frequently cascade into identity theft, loan fraud, or targeted phishing because they tie real addresses and financial details to specific individuals. Even without an exact victim count, the exposure creates immediate risk for anyone who has done business with the company.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks
Ransomware groups rarely stop at one dataset. A single leaked email or phone number from these internal files can be combined with information from other breaches to build a complete profile. Attackers chain your work email to personal accounts, link home addresses to family members, and locate social-media handles or children’s gaming usernames that share the same household. This identity-chain mapping turns a corporate breach into personal doxxing that can lead to harassment, SIM-swapping, or account takeovers across email, banking, and gaming platforms. Credential leaks of this nature are especially dangerous for gaming accounts belonging to you or your children, because those logins are often reused and can serve as the starting point for broader compromise.
