autohaus-paschke.de Listed by safepay Ransomware Group

On December 16, 2025, the German car dealership Autohaus Paschke appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group Safepay. The attackers published a sample of internal files they say were stolen during a ransomware incident at the dealership, which sells and services vehicles in the Brandenburg region of Germany.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

Public reporting indicates that Safepay claims to have exfiltrated internal documents from Autohaus Paschke’s networks. The exact number of people whose information was taken remains unknown. Available details describe the exposed material as internal files rather than a structured database of customer records. The listing on the Safepay leak site carries the date December 16, 2025, and follows the group’s standard practice of publishing proof of compromise after an unsuccessful ransom negotiation.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a local business like an auto dealership suffers a breach, the people most likely to be affected are ordinary customers whose names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, vehicle identification numbers, service histories, and payment details may sit inside the stolen files. That information can be used to impersonate you, file fraudulent tax returns, open accounts in your name, or launch convincing phishing attacks against your family. Even if you never bought a car from Autohaus Paschke, shared family members, joint insurance policies, or co-signed loan documents can still place your household in the exposure window.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one company. A single exposed email or phone number often links to gaming accounts, social-media handles, and family photos that attackers can chain together. Public reporting shows these datasets are quickly repackaged and sold on underground forums. Once criminals connect your work email to a child’s Roblox or Fortnite username and home address, the risk of swatting, harassment, or targeted extortion rises sharply. Credential leaks like this one regularly cascade into account takeovers across unrelated services.

Safepay’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes Safepay with emerging in mid-2024. The group has listed hospitals, manufacturers, and small retailers in Europe and North America. Its typical playbook begins with phishing or exploited remote-desktop credentials, followed by deployment of ransomware, data exfiltration, and then dual extortion: demanding payment to decrypt systems and a second fee to prevent publication of stolen files. When victims refuse to pay, Safepay posts samples on its onion site and offers the full archive to the highest bidder.
