Carlo J. Martina, P.C. Listed by pear Ransomware Group

On February 23, 2026, the Plymouth, Michigan divorce and family law firm Carlo J. Martina, P.C. appeared on the leak site of the pear ransomware group. Public reporting indicates the attackers exfiltrated internal files during a ransomware incident and have now published them after the firm did not meet their demands.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

The listing on the pear leak site includes samples of the stolen data, claiming that sensitive internal documents were taken. No exact victim count has been released, but the nature of a family law practice means the files likely contain personal details of clients involved in divorce, custody, and financial disputes. The breach follows the group’s standard pattern of initial access, data exfiltration, and public extortion when ransom is not paid. Available reporting describes the incident as part of a growing wave of attacks on small professional services firms that hold highly personal client records.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or anyone in your family worked with Carlo J. Martina, P.C. for divorce, child custody, alimony, or related legal matters, your private information may now be in the hands of criminals. Divorce and family law files routinely include Social Security numbers, bank statements, tax returns, addresses, phone numbers, employment details, and information about children. Once exposed, this data does not expire. It can be sold, traded, or used months or years later to open fraudulent accounts, file fake tax returns, or launch impersonation scams against you or your former spouse. Your children’s information is especially vulnerable because it can be paired with yours to build long-term identity profiles.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Family law records frequently contain not just names and numbers but also email addresses, usernames, and references to social media or gaming accounts. Attackers routinely chain these fragments together. A leaked email from a divorce filing can be matched to a username on a child’s Roblox or Fortnite account, revealing the real identity behind the gamer tag. This creates a doxxing chain that leads straight to your home address and daily routines. Credential leaks like this one often cascade into account takeovers across email, banking, and gaming platforms, turning one breach into repeated harassment or financial fraud for entire households.

What to Do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, with cleanup of exposed records.
• Rotate any password you ever used at Carlo J. Martina, P.C. or related services, and switch to 2FA through an authenticator app instead of text messages.
