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.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates the incident involves internal files stolen from IMA Diligence Services. The listing appeared on the Genesis leak site, hosted on the dark web address linked through ransomware.live. No exact victim count has been released, and the precise volume or sensitivity of the documents remains unclear from available information. The breach follows the typical ransomware pattern of initial access, data theft, and subsequent extortion pressure.

January 27, 2026 marks the public confirmation date when the group listed the company. Industry research from sources such as DoxxScan™ continuous monitoring indicates that financial service providers frequently appear in such incidents because they hold sensitive client records that can be leveraged for further attacks.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or anyone in your household has worked with IMA Diligence Services or IMA Financial Group, your personal or financial information may now sit in a ransomware data set. Even when exact numbers are unknown, these leaks often contain names, addresses, Social Security numbers, bank details, or client correspondence that criminals can sell or use directly.

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.
