On April 29, 2026, the ransomware group Aurora added Costa Solutions, LLC to its leak site after the Texas-based warehousing and managed-labor company refused to pay an extortion demand. The attackers claim to have taken more than 3,000–8,000 individuals’ personal records, including SSNs from W-2s, W-4s, 1099s, I-9s and background checks, plus bank account and routing numbers from over 200 direct-deposit forms.

Reported Details of the Breach
Public reporting indicates that Costa Solutions, a privately held firm headquartered in San Antonio with roughly $140 million in annual revenue and between 200 and 1,000 employees, had its internal file server compromised. The exposed material includes operational, financial, legal, and human-resources documents spanning 12 years. Current and former employees, independent contractors, employee dependents, and job applicants are all affected. Available reporting describes the data set as containing medical and injury records in addition to the tax and banking information already noted. No exact victim count has been independently verified, but the range published by the attackers is 3,000–8,000 individuals.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
If you or anyone in your household ever worked at Costa Solutions, applied for a job there, or were listed as a dependent on an employee’s paperwork, your Social Security number, bank details, and medical information may now be in criminal hands. That combination lets thieves open accounts, file fraudulent tax returns, or impersonate you with government agencies. Children listed as dependents are especially exposed because their SSNs often sit unused for years, making them attractive targets for synthetic-identity fraud that can follow them into adulthood. Even if you left the company years ago, the 12-year span of records means your data is still at risk.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk
A single breach rarely stops at the original leak. Criminals combine the fresh Costa Solutions data with information already circulating on underground forums. They link your work email to personal accounts, map old phone numbers to current addresses, and trace gaming usernames that share the same password or recovery address. Once these chains form, attackers can move from identity theft to full doxxing—publishing your family’s home address, children’s names, and daily routines. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into account takeovers on gaming platforms, where children’s profiles become entry points for further extortion.
