On November 6, 2025, the website of the International Professional Pool Players Association (ippm.org) appeared on the leak site of the warlock ransomware group, with attackers claiming to have exfiltrated internal files during a ransomware incident.

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 that warlock listed ippm.org as a victim and posted evidence of stolen data. The exact number of people affected remains unknown because the organization has not released details about its membership size or the volume of records involved. Available reporting describes the exposed material as internal files rather than a structured database of customer records. No ransom demand deadline has been publicly confirmed in connection with this specific listing.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When an organization that holds names, addresses, phone numbers, or payment details for its members or customers suffers a breach, that information can quickly reach identity thieves, scammers, and harassers. If you or anyone in your household has ever registered for pool tournaments, joined a local chapter, or made a purchase through ippm.org, your contact details may now be in the hands of criminals. Even seemingly harmless membership records can be combined with data from other leaks to build a complete profile that puts your finances, accounts, and personal safety at risk.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications
Ransomware operators rarely stop at one dataset. Once internal files leave an organization’s control, they often circulate on multiple underground forums. Attackers then link an email address found in one breach to usernames on gaming platforms, social media, or shopping sites. This identity chain can lead to account takeovers, SIM-swapping attempts, or targeted doxxing. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into gaming account compromises because children and adults often reuse the same email-password combination across hobbies and work. Public reporting shows these chains frequently expose home addresses, phone numbers, and family relationships within weeks of the initial leak.
