Empire Screen Printing Listed by sinobi Ransomware Group

On December 18, 2025, Empire Screen Printing, Inc. appeared on the leak site of the sinobi ransomware group, with the attackers claiming to have exfiltrated internal company files following a ransomware incident. The New York-based firm, which provides screen printing, flexography, digital printing and doming services to customers across the United States, now faces the public exposure of sensitive business documents that could contain customer records, employee information and other personal data.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

Public reporting indicates the company was listed on the sinobi leak portal at the address ending in 69446e4688b6823fa2cafd25. Available details describe the incident as a ransomware attack in which internal files were taken before any encryption occurred on the victim’s systems. The exact volume of data and the specific types of records exposed have not been independently verified, but ransomware groups routinely publish samples that include spreadsheets, PDFs, emails and databases. No confirmed victim count has been released, and Empire Screen Printing has not issued a public statement detailing the breach as of the latest available information.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company you do business with loses control of its files, your personal information can end up in the hands of criminals. If you have ever placed an order with Empire Screen Printing, worked there, or had your details stored in their customer or employee records, those details may now be circulating among threat actors. Names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and potentially payment information are the kinds of data that fuel identity theft, phishing campaigns and unwanted solicitations. For families, a single breach like this can expose both parents and children if school sports teams, youth clubs or family businesses ordered printed materials through the company.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one company. Attackers often use stolen data to map connections between email addresses, usernames, phone numbers and real-world identities. A customer record from Empire Screen Printing can link your work email to a personal account, then to social-media handles or even your children’s gaming usernames. These identity chains allow criminals to launch credible spear-phishing attacks, file fraudulent tax returns, or harass family members online. Credential leaks of this nature frequently cascade into account takeovers across unrelated services, turning one company’s misfortune into a persistent threat against your household.

Sinobi Group’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the sinobi ransomware group with emerging in late 2024. The group has targeted mid-sized businesses across manufacturing, retail and professional services, typically gaining initial access through phishing emails or exploited remote desktop protocols. After exfiltrating data, sinobi follows a double-extortion playbook: it threatens to publish the stolen files unless the victim pays a ransom, then lists non-paying victims on its dark-web leak site with countdown timers. Notable prior victims include other small-to-medium enterprises whose customer and employee records were later offered for sale on underground forums.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers and real identity so you can see exactly what this leak may have exposed.
• Rotate any password you used when ordering from or interacting with Empire Screen Printing 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 time your information surfaces you learn within hours rather than months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which often become the next link in doxxing chains after credential leaks like this one.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and suspicious sites while you focus on securing your own accounts.

The incident underscores a simple reality: your family’s information is only as safe as the businesses you trust with it. Taking deliberate steps now can limit the damage from this claimed breach and reduce exposure to future ones. Start your DoxxScan trial for continuous monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, hands-on remediation by specialists, and household coverage including children’s gaming accounts. DoxxScan is also effective for protecting gaming accounts because credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into account takeovers and doxxing chains.
