Data exposed Internal files exfiltrated in ransomware attack

On June 22, 2026, the Canadian tax-preparation firm eggetttax.ca appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group BrainCipher. Internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack, and the company’s data is now publicly listed for anyone who visits the group’s onion address.

Confirmed Facts from Reporting

Public reporting indicates that BrainCipher added eggetttax.ca to its leak site on June 22, 2026. The listing states that internal files were stolen in a ransomware incident. No confirmed victim count has been released, and the precise volume or sensitivity of the documents remains unclear from available reporting. The data was taken from the company’s internal systems before any ransom demand was met.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you have used eggetttax.ca to file taxes, prepare returns, or submit any personal financial information, your records may now sit in an attacker-controlled archive. Tax documents typically contain your full name, address, date of birth, Social Insurance Number, income details, banking information, and sometimes spouse or dependent data. Once that combination leaves a legitimate company and reaches a ransomware leak site, it becomes raw material for identity theft, fraudulent loan applications, and targeted scams against you and your family. Even if you were not the primary client, any shared household financial records can expose everyone listed on the same return.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Tax records are high-value connectors in doxxing chains. A single file can link your legal identity to email addresses, phone numbers, employer details, and family member names. Attackers routinely combine this information with credential leaks from other breaches to map out your entire digital footprint. The same data that helps you file taxes can later help someone hijack your accounts, impersonate you to government agencies, or publish your personal details online. Credential leaks like this one cascade into account takeovers and doxxing chains, which is why protecting gaming accounts—yours or your children’s—matters. A compromised child’s gaming username tied to a family email can quickly lead back to the same household address now sitting in the eggetttax.ca files.

BrainCipher’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the attacks to a group calling itself BrainCipher. The group emerged in late 2024 and has targeted organizations across North America and Europe. Notable prior victims include mid-sized businesses in healthcare, education, and professional services sectors. Their typical playbook begins with initial access through phishing or exploited remote desktop credentials, followed by rapid exfiltration of internal files and deployment of ransomware. If payment is not received, they publish samples or full archives on their leak site and sometimes contact victims directly with extortion demands. Available reporting describes their extortion style as aggressive, with countdown timers and threats to release sensitive client data.

What to do

  • Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, usernames, and real identity so you can see exactly what chains back to the eggetttax.ca exposure.
  • Rotate any password you ever used on eggetttax.ca and enable 2FA through an authenticator app on every account where that password was reused.
  • Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 15.4B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak that touches your family is caught in hours rather than months.
  • Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that could chain back to the same leaked address or email.
  • Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests and broker removals for you while you focus on securing your own accounts.
