On November 14, 2025, the Akira ransomware group listed five U.S. companies on its leak site after exfiltrating roughly 15 GB of internal files from each. The victims include Barbizon Lighting Company, Roseburrough Tool Company, MQD, Ralph McKay Industries (also referred to as McKay Empire), and Victor Insulators. Anyone whose personal, customer, employee, or vendor information was stored in those systems may now be exposed.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates the attackers published proof of the breach on their leak site, showing they had obtained internal documents from all five organizations. The data volume per company is reported at approximately 15 GB. The companies operate in diverse sectors: Barbizon provides lighting and rigging for houses of worship, live events, and film; Roseburrough manufactures tools and construction supplies; MQD performs product testing, veterinary diagnostics, and quality consulting; Ralph McKay Industries and Victor Insulators supply industrial components.
Available reporting describes the incident as a classic ransomware attack involving both encryption and data theft. No Reported Details have emerged about the exact types of files taken—such as customer databases, employee records, or financial spreadsheets—beyond the general description of “internal files.” The number of individuals whose information may have been exposed remains unknown.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When companies like these suffer breaches, the information stolen often includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, dates of birth, and sometimes Social Security numbers or payment details. If you or any member of your family has done business with any of these firms—bought lighting equipment, ordered tools, submitted a product for testing, or worked with them in any capacity—your data could be sitting in that 15 GB archive now available to criminals.
