Dubroff, Easley & Lovell, LLP Listed by pear Ransomware Group

On September 15, 2025, the law firm Dubroff, Easley & Lovell, LLP, which specializes in family law, appeared on the leak site of the pear ransomware group. Public reporting indicates the firm suffered a ransomware attack in which internal files were exfiltrated. The number of individuals whose personal information may have been exposed remains unknown.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

Available reporting describes the incident as a ransomware attack followed by data exfiltration. The firm’s listing on the pear leak site states that attackers claim to have obtained internal documents. No specific volume of records or exact date of initial compromise has been publicly detailed. The firm provides attorney services focused on family law matters, meaning client files could contain sensitive details such as divorce records, child custody agreements, financial disclosures, and personal identifiers.

Internal files were the primary data type listed as exfiltrated. As of the publication date on the leak site, the group had not publicly posted sample documents, but the presence of the firm on the site signals that negotiations likely failed or a deadline passed.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or your family worked with Dubroff, Easley & Lovell, LLP, your private legal matters may now sit in a criminal database. Family law records frequently include Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, employment details, bank account information, and custody arrangements. Once exposed, this data does not disappear. It can be sold, traded, or used to target you months or years later.

Family law clients are especially vulnerable because the records often tie multiple generations together. A single breach can expose both parents and children, creating long-term privacy and safety risks for the entire household.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Legal documents frequently contain not only names and addresses but also email accounts, phone numbers, and references to online identities. Attackers and data brokers can chain these fragments together. A seemingly harmless email from a divorce filing can be linked to a gaming username, a social media handle, or a child’s school account. This identity chain turns one breach into multiple attack surfaces.

Credential leaks of this nature often cascade into account takeovers. Once criminals control an email or phone number tied to your legal case, they can reset passwords across other services, request sensitive records, or impersonate you to family members. Children’s gaming accounts are particularly attractive targets because they frequently reuse credentials or contact information from parental devices and legal paperwork.

What to Do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real-world identity, then use the cleanup to remove what you can.
• Rotate any password you ever used at Dubroff, Easley & Lovell, LLP or related services, and switch to 2FA through an authenticator app instead of text messages.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next time your information surfaces it is caught in hours rather than months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same addresses and emails.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and exposed profiles while you focus on securing your daily accounts.

The pear ransomware group first gained attention in early 2024. Public reporting attributes to them a pattern of targeting mid-sized professional services firms, exfiltrating data, then pressuring victims with threats of publication on their leak site. Their typical playbook involves initial access through phishing or remote desktop vulnerabilities, followed by exfiltration of sensitive folders and a short negotiation window before public exposure.

Protecting yourself after a breach like this requires more than changing one password. A forward-looking approach means assuming your information will appear in future leaks and maintaining constant visibility. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers that visibility through continuous monitoring across 13.1 billion+ breach records and more than 100 platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping that connects scattered online handles to your real identity, and hands-on remediation by specialists who manage takedowns for you and your family, including children’s gaming accounts that are often overlooked.
