e-Hazardcom and ArcWearcom (with data) Listed by ALPHV Ransomware Group

On April 27, 2023, the ransomware group Alphv listed both e-Hazard.com and ArcWear.com on its leak site, claiming that internal files had been exfiltrated from the companies that provide arc flash safety training, studies, audits, and related services. The disclosure indicates that data was taken during a ransomware attack, although the exact number of people affected and the full scope of records remain unknown.

Details from the Leak Site

The Alphv listing states that internal files were exfiltrated following a ransomware deployment. It does not quantify the volume of data taken, list specific record counts, or itemize every file type exposed. The primary disclosure source, the Alphv leak site itself (mirrored at ransomware.live), simply states the compromise of both domains and invites negotiation or further publication if demands are not met. No customer list, employee roster, or sample data appears in the initial posting, which is typical for early-stage extortion listings where the threat actor withholds full proof until ransom talks collapse.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When safety-training firms like these suffer breaches, the people whose information ends up in the files are often everyday workers who completed arc flash compliance courses, employees at industrial sites, or contractors whose training records include names, addresses, dates of birth, and sometimes Social Security numbers for certification tracking. Internal files exfiltrated can contain exactly the kind of workplace and personal data that identity thieves need. Even if you never visited the sites yourself, your employer may have sent your training records there, meaning your information could now sit inside the Alphv archive. Families feel the impact when one member’s work data exposes shared addresses, phone numbers, or email accounts used by everyone at home.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Stolen internal files rarely stay isolated. A single spreadsheet linking your name to an employer email can be cross-referenced with other breaches to build a complete profile. Threat actors chain these records to gaming usernames, family photos, and children’s accounts, turning one workplace breach into long-term harassment or targeted fraud. Credential leaks of this kind frequently cascade into account takeovers on personal services that reuse the same passwords. The result is doxxing chains that expose home addresses, family relationships, and even children’s gaming handles that resolve back to the same household.

Alphv’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the emergence of Alphv (also known as BlackCat) to late 2021. The group has since hit hospitals, manufacturers, and professional-services firms across North America and Europe. Its typical playbook begins with initial access gained through compromised credentials or vulnerable remote desktop services, followed by extensive internal reconnaissance, data exfiltration, and then ransomware encryption. After encryption, Alphv posts samples on its leak site and pressures victims with deadlines, often threatening to sell or publish the data if payment is not received. The April 27, 2023 listing of e-Hazard and ArcWear fits this pattern exactly.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, with cleanup handled by the service.
• Rotate any password you ever used on e-Hazard.com or ArcWear.com and enable 2FA through an authenticator app on every account where that password was reused.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure surfaces in hours rather than months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that can chain back to the same breached data.
• Let remediation specialists manage takedown requests for any exposed personal records that appear for sale or on paste sites.

The Alphv listing is a clear reminder that even specialized training companies hold data that can harm ordinary families when it leaks. Starting now with concrete steps protects against the cascading effects of this and future incidents. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers continuous monitoring across 13.1 billion+ breach records and more than 100 platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, hands-on remediation by specialists, and full household coverage that includes children’s gaming accounts.
