If you are a customer of bemac-merivale, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

bemac-merivale Listed by Lynx Ransomware Group

On September 4, 2025, Canadian auto repair chain CSN Bemac Collision Centres appeared on the leak site of the lynx Ransomware Group. The listing indicates that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack on the Ottawa-based business, which has served customers since 1960 across multiple locations.

Already exposed?

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.

Reported Details of the Breach

Public reporting from the lynx leak site, tracked by ransomware.live, shows the company was listed after failing to meet the group’s demands. Available reporting describes the exposed material as internal files. The exact number of individuals whose personal information is contained in those files remains unknown. No confirmed list of specific data types such as names, addresses, insurance details, or repair records has been publicly released by the threat actors or the company.

CSN Bemac Collision Centres provides collision repair, auto body work, mechanical services, and detailing. The business is certified by major auto manufacturers and pre-approved by Canadian insurance companies, meaning customer records likely include contact information, vehicle identification numbers, insurance claims, and payment details for both individual and commercial clients.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a local business like your auto repair shop is breached, the information you provided for a simple windshield replacement or insurance claim can end up in criminal hands. Internal files from such companies often contain phone numbers, home addresses, email accounts, and driver’s licence details that criminals can use to impersonate you, file fraudulent claims, or open accounts in your name.

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.
