Cybba Inc. $52,400 fine: was your data leaked? What California found

If you are a customer of Cybba Inc., here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

California fined data broker Cybba Inc. $52,400 for missing a 2025 registration deadline, not for a hack. The August 2026 order does not report stolen records or a number of people affected. The company must now stay on the state’s public registry and honor official deletion requests.
— from the group that posted this listing’s own leak-site posting. This is the group’s claim, quoted verbatim; it is not GalaxyWarden’s reporting and has not been independently verified.

Cybba Inc. $52,400 fine: was your data leaked? What California found

On August 13, 2026, the California Privacy Protection Agency announced a $52,400 fine against Cybba Inc., a Boston company that sells personal information for advertising. The agency’s board adopted the order on August 10, 2026. Cybba agreed to the facts and the terms.

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 580 companies.

Cybba failed to register with California’s Data Broker Registry by the January 31, 2025 deadline. After regulators contacted the company, it registered late. The agency did not allege a hack, a leak, or any unauthorized access, and it did not name a number of affected people. This case is about a missed registration, not stolen files.

The $52,400 is not the part that affects you

Most coverage leads with the fine and the missed deadline. That framing makes this sound like a late fee for paperwork.

California built the Data Broker Registry so you can see which companies sell information about people they do not have as customers — and so you can tell those companies to delete it. A broker that never registers is not on that list. You cannot opt out of a company you cannot find, and the state’s shared deletion system cannot reach them either.

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.
