Data exposed Internal files exfiltrated in ransomware attack

On February 13, 2026, Elite Screens Inc. appeared on the leak site of the dragonforce ransomware group after internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. The California-based projection screen manufacturer, founded in 2004, operates offices across Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Latvia, Mexico, Japan, and Taiwan. Customers, partners, and employees whose information touched those internal systems may now face heightened risks of identity theft and doxxing.

Confirmed Facts from Reporting

Public reporting indicates that dragonforce listed Elite Screens on its leak site and claims to have stolen internal company files. Available reporting describes the incident as a ransomware attack in which data was exfiltrated before encryption or as part of an extortion attempt. Exact volume of records and specific data types remain unconfirmed by the company, but ransomware incidents of this nature routinely expose employee records, customer contracts, financial spreadsheets, and vendor information. Elite Screens has not yet issued a public statement detailing the breach scope or timeline.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company like Elite Screens suffers a breach, the ripple effects reach ordinary people. If you have ever bought a projection screen, worked with one of their distributors, applied for a job there, or had your information stored in a vendor database, your details could be among the exfiltrated files. Customer records, employee data, and partner contacts are frequent targets because they contain names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and sometimes payment details. Once that information reaches criminal marketplaces, it can be used for phishing, account takeovers, or sold to doxxers who build detailed profiles on you and your family.

Children are not immune. Many families register products or create support accounts using household emails that also protect kids’ gaming logins. A single leaked email-password pair from a mundane purchase can cascade into compromise of those gaming accounts, exposing chat logs, friend lists, and location data that attackers then link back to your real identity.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Ransomware groups rarely stop at dumping raw files. They publish samples to pressure victims and seed criminal ecosystems where other actors scrape the data for doxxing campaigns. A leaked Elite Screens spreadsheet containing your name, address, and phone number can be cross-referenced with breached gaming credentials, social-media handles, and public records. This creates an identity chain that reveals far more than any single breach suggests. Public reporting shows these chains frequently lead to harassment, swatting, or targeted phishing against family members whose names appear in the same household records.

Dragonforce’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes dragonforce with emerging in late 2024 as a ransomware-as-a-service operation. The group has claimed responsibility for attacks on manufacturing, technology, and professional-services companies. Its typical playbook involves initial access through phishing or exploited remote-desktop services, followed by exfiltration of sensitive files, deployment of ransomware, and dual extortion: demanding payment to prevent file encryption and threatening to publish stolen data on its leak site. Notable prior victims include mid-sized manufacturers and distributors whose internal documents appeared on the same platform now listing Elite Screens.

What to do

  • Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, with no-subscription cleanup handled by the service.
  • Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 15.4B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure of your data is caught in hours rather than months.
  • Rotate any password you used at Elite Screens or its authorized retailers anywhere it is reused, and switch to 2FA through an authenticator app instead of SMS.
  • Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts tied to the same address or email domain.
  • Let remediation specialists manage takedown requests across data brokers and leak sites on your behalf while you focus on securing accounts.
