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.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates that RansomHub listed Castlehill Housing Association, a provider of affordable homes in the UK since 1970, as a victim. The group claims to have exfiltrated internal files during the incident. No exact victim count has been disclosed, and the precise volume or types of records remain unclear from available screenshots on the leak site. The listing follows the typical RansomHub pattern of publishing a sample of stolen data after an initial extortion demand goes unmet.
Castlehill offers day-to-day repairs, maintenance, home choices, and rent services while working with local authorities and other social landlords. Any tenant or employee whose details were stored in the organisation’s internal systems could therefore be affected.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
If you or anyone in your household rents from Castlehill or has ever worked there, your personal information may now sit on a dark-web leak site. Internal files often contain names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, bank details for rent payments, and correspondence that can be used for identity theft or targeted scams. Once such data reaches criminal marketplaces, it rarely disappears. You and your family could face increased risks of phishing, fraudulent loan applications, or unwanted contact for years to come.
