johnpaulrichard.com Listed by Cactus Ransomware Group

On January 16, 2025, the clothing retailer JohnPaulRichard.com appeared on the leak site of the Cactus ransomware group. The company, which sells women’s apparel from its base in Calabasas, California, may have had internal files stolen during a ransomware attack. While the exact number of people whose information was taken remains unknown, anyone who has shopped with the brand, applied for a job there, or had their details stored in its systems could 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 of the Breach

Public reporting indicates that Cactus exfiltrated internal files from JohnPaulRichard before encrypting systems or demanding ransom. The retailer, which generates roughly $60 million in annual revenue, operates primarily in the apparel and accessories sector. No customer count has been released, and the precise data types inside the stolen files have not been fully detailed. The listing on the Cactus leak site states that negotiations either failed or never occurred.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a retailer’s internal files are taken, the information often includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, order histories, and sometimes payment details or employee records. If your family has purchased from JohnPaulRichard, that data can be combined with other leaks to build a profile that criminals use for identity theft, phishing, or targeted scams. Children’s information sometimes appears in family accounts or school-related orders, extending the risk beyond the primary cardholder.

Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into account takeovers on other sites where the same email and password are 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.
