Langley Twigg Law Listed by Anubis Ransomware Group

On January 11, 2026, the New Zealand law firm Langley Twigg was added to the leak site operated by the Anubis ransomware group. The listing indicates that internal files containing both personal and corporate data were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack on the firm. While the exact number of individuals affected remains unknown, anyone whose documents, correspondence, or personal details passed through the firm in recent years could have information now in the hands of criminals.

Reported Details of the Incident

Public reporting on ransomware.live shows that Anubis claims to have stolen internal files from Langley Twigg and has published a sample of the allegedly exfiltrated material on its dark-web leak page. The data includes personal and corporate records. No specific count of exposed records or named victims has been released by the firm or the attackers. The incident follows the typical ransomware pattern of encryption followed by data theft and public shaming to pressure payment.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or any member of your family has ever used Langley Twigg for legal services — whether buying a house, drafting a will, handling family matters, or settling an estate — your private information may now sit on a criminal server. Names, addresses, dates of birth, financial details, and family relationships are the exact pieces criminals need to open accounts, file fraudulent tax returns, or impersonate you. Even if you were not the direct client, information about you could appear in supporting documents such as contracts, affidavits, or correspondence. Once stolen, this data does not expire; it can be sold and reused for years.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

A single breach like this rarely stays isolated. Criminals routinely combine newly leaked legal documents with information from earlier breaches to build detailed profiles. An address listed in a property file can be linked to an email from an old shopping breach; a phone number in correspondence can be tied to a child’s gaming username. These identity chains allow attackers to move from simple identity theft to full doxxing, targeted harassment, or account takeovers across email, banking, and social media. Gaming accounts belonging to you or your children are especially vulnerable because kids often reuse passwords or email addresses that appear in family legal paperwork.

Anubis Ransomware Group Track Record

Public reporting attributes the Anubis ransomware operation to a group that emerged in 2024. The gang has targeted organizations across multiple countries, focusing on mid-sized businesses and professional services firms. Its publicly known playbook involves gaining initial access through phishing or exploited remote desktop services, exfiltrating data before deploying encryption, and then using dual extortion: threatening both data publication and operational disruption unless a ransom is paid. Victims listed in prior incidents include healthcare providers, manufacturers, and other law firms, according to trackers such as ransomware.live.

What to do
