Double C Farm Listed by thegentlemen Ransomware Group

On April 14, 2026, Double C Farm, a private equestrian facility in Montgomery County, Maryland, appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group known as thegentlemen. The listing states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack on the business that offers trail obstacle courses, riding lessons, and schooling shows near Sugarloaf Mountain.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

Public reporting indicates the incident involves the theft of internal business documents from Double C Farm, which operates under doublecfarm.net. The data was posted to the group’s leak portal, a common tactic used to pressure victims. No specific count of affected individuals has been disclosed, and the precise volume or sensitivity of the files remains unclear from available reporting. The farm’s ZoomInfo profile was also referenced in connection with the listing.

April 14, 2026 marks the public disclosure date on the leak site. The attack follows the group’s typical pattern of exfiltrating data before encrypting systems or threatening further exposure.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a local business like an equestrian center or riding school is breached, the information exposed can easily include names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, and payment details of customers and their families. If you or your children take lessons, attend clinics, or participate in shows at such facilities, your contact information may now sit in files available to criminals.

Internal files exfiltrated often contain spreadsheets that list clients, emergency contacts, medical notes for riders, and billing records. Once stolen, this data rarely stays contained. It can be sold, traded, or used to launch targeted attacks against you at home.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one company. Criminals map connections between the breached business and its customers, linking email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses to personal accounts across the internet. A riding student’s email tied to Double C Farm can be cross-referenced with social media, gaming platforms, and family accounts, creating a chain that leads to doxxing or identity theft.

Credential leaks of this nature frequently cascade into account takeovers. The same password used to register for a riding clinic may protect an email account, a streaming service, or a child’s Roblox or Minecraft profile. Public reporting describes how these chains allow attackers to impersonate family members or escalate harassment once personal details surface.

Thegentlemen’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes thegentlemen with emerging in late 2024 as a ransomware operation that combines data theft with extortion. The group has listed schools, medical practices, and small businesses in prior incidents, typically posting samples of stolen files after victims ignore initial ransom demands. Their playbook usually involves initial access through phishing or exploited remote desktop services, followed by exfiltration of sensitive documents and deployment of ransomware. They then publish victim data on dedicated leak sites if payment deadlines pass, a pattern consistent with the Double C Farm listing.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, family addresses, and online handles that may have been exposed through the Double C Farm client files.
• Rotate any password you used to register for lessons, clinics, or payments at Double C Farm and enable 2FA with an authenticator app everywhere that password was reused.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak exposing you or your family is caught and addressed in hours rather than months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that includes dependents and your children’s gaming accounts, which often chain back to the same addresses and parent emails used for riding school registrations.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests for any personal information already appearing on data broker sites or forums connected to this claimed breach.
