On February 10, 2025, Connecticut-based interior design firm DesignSourceCT appeared on the leak site of the Akira ransomware group. The company, established in 2005 as the state’s largest designer showroom for high-quality home furnishings, fabric, furniture and flooring, had internal files exfiltrated. The attackers stated they will soon upload corporate data including projects, contracts, and client documents.
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.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates the incident is a ransomware attack in which Akira gained access to DesignSourceCT’s systems, exfiltrated data, and listed the company on its public leak portal. The exact number of affected individuals remains unknown. Available reporting describes the exposed material as internal corporate files rather than a full customer database, yet the promised upload of projects, contracts, and client documents could contain names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and financial details tied to both trade professionals and private clients.
February 10, 2025 marks the date the firm was listed. The attackers have not yet published the full archive but have signaled imminent release of the material. No evidence has surfaced that payment was made or that the data was returned.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
If you or your family have worked with DesignSourceCT — whether selecting flooring for a home renovation, ordering custom furniture, or using their trade services — your personal information may now sit in an attacker’s archive. A single leaked contract can contain home addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, and payment records. Once that information reaches dark-web marketplaces, it can be purchased and combined with other stolen records to build a complete profile of your household.
