Kan & Krishme Listed by sinobi Ransomware Group

On January 11, 2026, the Indian intellectual property law firm Kan & Krishme appeared on the leak site of the sinobi ransomware group. Internal files were allegedly exfiltrated during a ransomware attack, exposing data that could affect anyone who has worked with the firm on patents, trademarks, design rights, or advertising law matters.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

Public reporting indicates that Kan & Krishme was listed on the sinobi leak portal with samples of stolen internal documents. The firm specializes in patents, trademarks, design, and advertising law and operates under the rules of the Bar Council of India. It maintains that its website provides information only at the user’s request and does not create a lawyer-client relationship until formal engagement.

The exact number of individuals or companies whose information was taken remains unknown. Available reporting describes the incident as a typical ransomware operation involving initial access, data exfiltration, and subsequent extortion pressure. No Reported Details have emerged about the specific types of personal information contained in the files, though legal client records frequently include names, addresses, contact details, identification numbers, and correspondence related to intellectual property filings.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a law firm’s internal files are stolen, the people most directly affected are its past and present clients. If you or anyone in your household has ever sought advice from Kan & Krishme on a trademark, patent application, design registration, or advertising compliance issue, your information may now sit in a ransomware group’s hands.

Legal records often contain full names, home addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, government identification numbers, and financial details tied to intellectual property matters. Once that information leaves a secure environment, it can be sold, published, or used to launch further attacks against you. Children’s names sometimes appear in family-held trademarks or design registrations, creating unexpected exposure for the next generation.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Stolen legal files rarely stay isolated. A single email address or phone number from the breach can be cross-referenced with gaming accounts, social media handles, school records, or data-broker listings. This creates an identity chain that links your professional life to your personal one.

Credential leaks of this nature frequently cascade into account takeovers. Attackers use recovered passwords or personal details to seize control of email, banking, or gaming profiles. For families, this risk extends to children’s gaming accounts that often reuse elements of a parent’s email or security answers. Public reporting shows these chains frequently end in doxxing, identity theft, or extortion demands directed at the household.

Sinobi Ransomware Group’s Track Record

Public reporting attributes the attack to the sinobi ransomware group. The group emerged in recent years and has targeted organizations across multiple sectors by gaining initial network access, exfiltrating sensitive files, and then publishing samples on its leak site to pressure victims into payment. Its typical playbook combines data theft with public shaming on dark-web portals when ransom demands go unmet. Exact details of prior victims and tactics continue to be tracked by ransomware intelligence platforms.
