On November 5, 2023, The Leaguers, a New Jersey-based nonprofit that has delivered social services for more than 70 years, appeared on the leak site operated by the Medusa ransomware group. The listing states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. The organization’s main office is at 405 University Ave, Suite 425, Newark, New Jersey. The number of people whose information may have been taken remains unknown, and the leak-site listing does not detail precisely which records were copied.

Details in the Primary Listing
The Medusa leak page states that The Leaguers suffered a ransomware intrusion and that attackers successfully removed internal files before encryption. No specific volume of records, types of personal data, or ransom amount is published on the site. The disclosure indicates the data was taken from the nonprofit’s systems and is now hosted on the extortion portal for anyone to view or download. Public reporting on Medusa shows the group routinely posts samples or full archives when victims do not pay.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
Nonprofit service providers routinely collect names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, medical details, and financial aid records for the families they serve. When those files leave the organization’s control, the exposure follows the very people the agency exists to help. If your household has ever received counseling, youth programs, senior services, or emergency assistance from The Leaguers, your information could be among the stolen material. Even without an exact headcount, the breach creates concrete risk of identity theft, tax fraud, and targeted scams that can last for years.
Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks
Ransomware operators like Medusa do not limit themselves to selling data in bulk. They publish samples that allow criminals to link an email address or phone number found in the nonprofit’s files to usernames on social media, gaming platforms, and shopping accounts. Once those connections are mapped, a single leaked record can trigger account takeovers, SIM-swapping attempts, and doxxing campaigns that expose your home address or your children’s names and schools. Credential leaks of this kind frequently cascade into gaming accounts belonging to teenagers or younger children who share family email domains, turning one breach into a household-wide compromise.
