carsonteam.com Listed by lockbit3 Ransomware Group

On November 12, 2023, the family-owned Carson Team at carsonteam.com appeared on the LockBit 3.0 ransomware leak site. The listing states that all confidential information in the USA has been accessed during a ransomware attack and that internal files were exfiltrated. The company, which has provided energy and transportation solutions across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California since 1938, has not publicly quantified how many customer or employee records were involved.

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 582 companies.

Details from the Leak Site

The LockBit 3.0 posting states that attackers gained access to the company’s internal network and removed files before encrypting systems. The disclosure indicates that the data includes material described only as “all confidential information in the USA.” No specific record count, list of file types, or sample documents appear in the primary listing. The threat actors gave Carson Team a deadline to negotiate, after which they began publishing the material on their onion site, now indexed on ransomware.live at the provided link.

November 12, 2023 marks the first public confirmation of the breach through the ransomware group’s own leak page. The notification does not detail the initial access vector, whether phishing, exploited vulnerability, or stolen credentials were used.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or your family have done business with Carson in the Pacific Northwest, your personal or business information may sit inside the stolen files. Energy and transportation providers routinely handle names, addresses, phone numbers, account details, payment records, and tax documents. When that information leaves a company’s control, it can be sold quietly on underground forums or used to launch targeted fraud against you.

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.
