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.

Primary Disclosure Details

The Medusa leak site states that Fitzgerald, DePietro & Wojnas CPAs, P.C. suffered a ransomware incident in which internal files were allegedly exfiltrated. The entry lists 92.5 GB of data and includes a partial sample of the allegedly stolen material. No client list, employee count, or specific data types such as Social Security numbers or tax returns are confirmed in the public listing itself. The disclosure indicates the firm’s data is now available for download by anyone who visits the onion site or associated mirrors.

The notification does not provide a timeline of when the intrusion occurred or when exfiltration took place. It simply presents the volume of data and sample files as proof of compromise.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or any member of your family used this Utica firm for tax preparation, accounting services, payroll, or business consulting, your personal and financial information may now sit in a publicly accessible ransomware repository. Tax documents frequently contain full names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, bank account details, and income history. Even a single leaked PDF can give criminals enough to open accounts in your name or file fraudulent tax returns.

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.
