I.L.A. Local 1964 Listed by DragonForce Ransomware Group

If you are a customer of I.L.A. Local 1964, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

Local 1964, International Longshoremen’s Association, Industrial & Miscellaneous Workers, represents workers in various industries and professions, running the gamut from Ocean Shipping, Trucking & Warehousing Logistics, to Nurses Aides, Dialysis Technicians, Building Maintenance workers, Grocery Store and Laundry Workers. Chartered in 1970 the people of Local 1964 I.L.A. have fought hard to negotiate higher wages, good Health Benefits, Pensions, Vacations and Sick leave for its Union members for over 50 years. We have insisted that Employers maintain and deliver decent working conditions
— from DragonForce’s own leak-site posting. This is the group’s claim, quoted verbatim; it is not GalaxyWarden’s reporting and has not been independently verified.

I.L.A. Local 1964 Listed by DragonForce Ransomware Group

On May 29, 2024, the dragonforce ransomware group listed I.L.A. Local 1964 on its leak site, claiming that internal files had been exfiltrated from the union during a ransomware attack. The International Longshoremen’s Association Local 1964, which represents workers ranging from ocean shipping and trucking to nurses aides, dialysis technicians, building maintenance staff, grocery store clerks, and laundry workers, now faces the public exposure of its internal documents. Anyone whose employment, health, or pension records are held by the union may be affected.

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.

Reported Details from the Listing

The dragonforce leak-site entry states that internal files were exfiltrated following a ransomware deployment. The listing does not disclose the volume of data taken, the exact file types, or any specific member records. It simply states that negotiation-related and operational documents from the chartered-1970 union local were removed. No ransom demand figure or payment deadline appears in the public posting. The primary source remains the dragonforce leak page itself, aggregated on ransomware.live.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or a family member works in shipping, logistics, healthcare support, or any of the trades covered by Local 1964, your personal information may sit inside the stolen files. Union records routinely contain Social Security numbers, home addresses, dates of birth, health-benefit details, pension enrollment data, and direct-deposit banking information. Once these records leave the union’s control, they can be sold, published in full, or used to file fraudulent tax returns, open credit accounts, or demand payment from victims directly. Even if your name is not on the first batch of leaked samples, the precedent is clear: ransomware operators release more data over time to increase pressure.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Exposed union files create long-term doxxing chains. An attacker who obtains your work email, phone number, or member ID from Local 1964 can cross-reference it with breached gaming accounts, social-media handles, or family addresses. This linkage turns a single breach into persistent identity exposure. Children’s accounts are especially vulnerable because many parents reuse the same password or security questions across work-related services and family gaming logins. A credential pair taken from the union today can unlock a child’s Roblox, Fortnite, or Discord account tomorrow, leading to further harassment or additional data theft.

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.
