On June 15, 2024, Australian electrical and digital infrastructure company Legrand appeared on the leak site of the hunters ransomware group, confirming that internal files had been exfiltrated during a ransomware incident. The listing states that data was taken but not encrypted, and the number of people whose information was exposed remains unknown. Anyone whose details sit inside Legrand’s customer relationship management system or related internal documents is now at risk of identity theft and targeted fraud.
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.

Details from the Leak Site
The hunters leak site entry, accessible via the ransomware.live mirror at the .onion address, lists Legrand as a victim and explicitly notes exfiltrated data: yes and encrypted data: no. It does not publish sample files, specify the volume of records, or name the exact systems beyond referencing the company’s CRM. The disclosure indicates that negotiations have ended without payment, triggering the public release of the stolen material. No Australian regulator filing or customer notification letter has surfaced yet, so the precise data types and scale stay unconfirmed by the company itself.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a company that supplies electrical products, building automation systems, or smart-home solutions to homes and businesses loses control of its internal files, the information inside often includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, and payment details of everyday customers. If you or your family have bought Legrand products, requested support, or registered devices in Australia, your contact records may now sit in an attacker-controlled archive. That exposure turns routine shopping data into fuel for phishing campaigns, account takeover attempts, and impersonation scams that can reach every member of the household.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk
Exfiltrated CRM records rarely exist in isolation. A single leaked email or phone number can be chained with usernames from forums, children’s gaming accounts, and loyalty programs to build a complete profile. Attackers then sell or weaponise these identity chains for doxxing, SIM-swapping, or extortion. Credential leaks of this kind frequently cascade into gaming platforms, where a compromised parent account hands attackers access to a child’s profile, friends list, and linked payment methods. The longer the data circulates on dark-web markets, the harder it becomes to contain the downstream harm.
