On December 5, 2025, French car repair network Delko appeared on the leak site of the sinobi ransomware group. The attackers claim to have exfiltrated internal files from the company, which operates local garages across France and stores customer data related to vehicle maintenance, bookings, and payments.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates that sinobi listed Delko on its dark-web leak portal, presenting samples of allegedly stolen documents. The exact number of people affected remains unknown, but Delko serves thousands of ordinary drivers who booked services, requested estimates, or had repairs completed. Available reporting describes the incident as a classic ransomware attack involving both encryption of systems and subsequent data exfiltration. No confirmed timeline of initial breach or exact volume of records has been released by the company or the attackers.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a garage chain like Delko is breached, the files taken often contain names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, vehicle registration details, and payment information. These records can be used to impersonate you with insurers, file fraudulent claims, or open accounts in your name. For families, a single breach can expose everyone listed on a shared vehicle—spouses, teenage drivers, and sometimes even linked family members. Once your data leaves a trusted local business and lands on a ransomware site, it circulates quickly among criminals who specialize in identity theft and harassment.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks
Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one company. Criminals combine the Delko files with other breaches to build detailed profiles. An email from your car booking can be matched to a gaming username, a family address, or a child’s account. This creates an identity chain that leads to doxxing, targeted scams, or account takeovers. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into gaming platforms, where children’s accounts become entry points for further harassment or extortion. Public reporting shows these chains often move from everyday service providers to social media, then to direct personal attacks.
