On March 12, 2025, construction and real estate company CNQC appeared on the leak site of the Akira ransomware group. The attackers claim to have stolen more than 90 GB of internal documents containing driver licenses, employees’ medical forms, financial data including audits and payment details, rental agreements, contact numbers, email addresses, employment passports with fingerprints, and other personal records belonging to both staff and customers.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates the incident stems from a ransomware attack in which Akira exfiltrated files before encrypting systems. The company, founded in 1952, focuses on domestic and international construction projects, real estate development, capital management, logistics, and design consulting. The leaked material includes sensitive employee and customer information that goes well beyond basic contact lists. No exact number of affected individuals has been confirmed, but the volume and variety of records suggest thousands of people could be exposed. The Akira leak site lists the data as ready for public release if demands are not met.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a company that handles construction contracts, rentals, or property management is breached, the information stolen often includes your home address, phone number, email, financial details, and government-issued identification. Driver licenses, passports with fingerprints, medical forms, and payment records are exactly the building blocks criminals need to open accounts in your name, file fraudulent tax returns, or impersonate you with banks and landlords. If you or anyone in your household has ever worked with a construction firm, rented through a real-estate developer, or been listed as a customer or vendor, your data may now be in the hands of extortionists. Once it is public, it stays public—available to identity thieves, stalkers, or harassers for years.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk
A single breach like this rarely stops at one company. Criminals use leaked emails, phone numbers, and addresses to link your gaming usernames, social-media handles, and family members’ accounts into a complete identity chain. Public reporting shows these chains frequently lead to doxxing, swatting, or targeted scams. Credential leaks from corporate environments often cascade into personal account takeovers, especially for gaming platforms where children’s accounts are tied to the same family email or phone. What begins as a corporate ransomware incident can quickly become a household privacy nightmare.
