On September 2, 2025, engineering firm CES Consultants, Inc. appeared on the leak site of the incransom ransomware group. The company, which provides program management, construction management, and design-build services, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. Anyone whose personal or professional information was stored in those files could now be 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.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates that CES Consultants, founded in 2001 by Rudy M. Ortiz, maintains the domain cesconsult.com. The incransom group posted a sample of the stolen data on its leak site, describing it as “a small part of what we downloaded.” Available reporting does not yet specify the exact number of individuals affected or list the precise types of records involved beyond internal files. No deadline for payment has been publicly detailed in the initial disclosure.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a company like CES Consultants suffers a breach, the information inside its files often includes details about clients, partners, employees, and vendors. If you or any member of your family has worked with an engineering or construction firm in the past two decades, your name, address, contact information, or project records could be among the stolen data. Once exposed, these records can be sold, traded, or used to launch further attacks against you. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into account takeovers on personal email, banking, or social media, putting your family’s financial stability and privacy at risk.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk
Stolen internal files rarely stay isolated. Attackers combine them with other leaked records to build detailed profiles that link your work email to personal accounts, phone numbers, family members, and even children’s online activities. This identity-chain process turns a single breach into repeated harassment, phishing campaigns, or doxxing attempts. Gaming accounts belonging to you or your children are especially vulnerable because usernames and passwords reused from work-related breaches provide an easy entry point for attackers seeking to embarrass, extort, or impersonate family members.
