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

Arrow Motor Auctions was founded in 1994 in Redditch and specialises in vehicle remarketing for trade and private customers. Public reporting indicates the company’s internal network was compromised in a ransomware incident, after which the attackers exfiltrated files before encrypting systems or demanding payment. The data sample published on the group’s onion site contains spreadsheets and documents that could reveal supplier details, customer transactions, employee records, and banking information.

At the time of publication the exact number of people whose personal data may have been exposed remains unknown. The breach listing does not include a victim count or a specific deadline for ransom payment, though ransomware groups routinely set short windows before releasing more data.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company that handles vehicle sales, financing, and customer records is breached, the information can be used to build profiles on ordinary people who bought or sold cars through them. Financial reports and customer transaction files often contain names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, payment details, and sometimes National Insurance numbers or driving licence data.

Unverified claim — what this report is

This page documents a public listing on a ransomware/extortion group’s leak site, tracked via public threat-intelligence sources. A listing is the attacker’s claim. GalaxyWarden aggregates and reports such claims; we have not independently verified that a breach occurred, what data (if any) was taken, or the accuracy of anything the group asserts, and the named organisation has not necessarily confirmed the incident. Sections above describe what the listing shows and the group’s documented history — not verified findings about the named organisation. If you represent this organisation and believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us and we’ll review it promptly.

Editorial & sourcing policy

GalaxyWarden is a breach-monitoring service and news aggregator. We do not exfiltrate, host, purchase, or redistribute stolen data. Breach information is compiled from publicly accessible sources and threat-intelligence platforms, and is reported as claims attributed to their source. We promptly correct or remove material shown to be inaccurate — see our content & takedown policy or write to support@galaxywarden.com.
