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 firm’s data appeared on the DragonForce leak site hosted on an onion domain. The posting lists Edward J. Kone, P.A. as the victim and states that internal files were taken during a ransomware incident. No exact victim count or list of specific documents has been publicly detailed, but the presence on the leak site means the attackers are prepared to publish or sell the material if their demands are not met. The firm serves clients across Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, and Broward counties and handles sensitive cases involving criminal defense, traffic violations, and personal injury.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a law firm’s internal files are stolen, the information often includes names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, case notes, and financial details of everyday clients. If your family has ever used a lawyer for a traffic ticket, DUI, injury claim, or any criminal matter in South Florida, your records could be among those now in attackers’ hands. These details do not expire. Criminals can combine them with other leaks to open accounts in your name, file fraudulent tax returns, or harass you directly. Children’s information is especially vulnerable because it often sits alongside parent records and can be used years later when they turn 18.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one company. Once client data leaves the firm’s control, it can be cross-referenced with usernames, emails, and phone numbers found in earlier breaches. This creates long identity chains that link your real name to gaming handles, social-media accounts, and family members. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into account takeovers on Steam, Roblox, Fortnite, or other platforms where children use the same email or password. The result is doxxing that can expose home addresses, phone numbers, and relationships to anyone willing to pay for the package.

Unverified claim — what this report is

This page documents a public listing on a ransomware/extortion group’s leak site, tracked via public threat-intelligence sources. A listing is the attacker’s claim. GalaxyWarden aggregates and reports such claims; we have not independently verified that a breach occurred, what data (if any) was taken, or the accuracy of anything the group asserts, and the named organisation has not necessarily confirmed the incident. Sections above describe what the listing shows and the group’s documented history — not verified findings about the named organisation. If you represent this organisation and believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us and we’ll review it promptly.

Editorial & sourcing policy

GalaxyWarden is a breach-monitoring service and news aggregator. We do not exfiltrate, host, purchase, or redistribute stolen data. Breach information is compiled from publicly accessible sources and threat-intelligence platforms, and is reported as claims attributed to their source. We promptly correct or remove material shown to be inaccurate — see our content & takedown policy or write to support@galaxywarden.com.
