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.

Reported Details of the Incident

Public reporting indicates the company’s data appeared on the group’s onion leak site hosted at tezwsse5czllksjb7cwp65rvnk4oobmzti2znn42i43bjdfd2prqqkad.onion. The listing states that internal files were stolen during a ransomware attack. No exact victim count has been published, and the precise volume or sensitivity of the documents remains unclear from available reporting. ERG Otoyol manages one of Turkey’s key motorway concessions, a project designed to deliver safe, continuous transport between northern and southern regions while improving access to tourism areas.

The breach follows the group’s typical pattern of encrypting victim systems, exfiltrating data, and then publishing samples when ransom demands go unmet.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

Even when a breach hits a corporate or government-adjacent contractor, ordinary people feel the impact. Employee records, vendor contracts, correspondence, and personal details of staff or subcontractors can surface online. If your name, email, phone number, or family address appears in those files, the information can be scraped and reused within hours. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into account takeovers on personal email, banking, or shopping sites where the same password was reused.

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.
