Lincoln Green Brewing Listed by dragonforce Ransomware Group

On March 4, 2026, the British craft brewer Lincoln Green Brewing Company Ltd. appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group DragonForce. The company, known for its core, occasional and special beers sold online and through its pubs, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated after a ransomware attack. While the exact number of people whose information was taken remains unknown, anyone who has ordered from the brewery, joined its mailing list, or supplied goods or services could be affected.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

Public reporting indicates that DragonForce listed Lincoln Green Brewing on its data-leak portal and published samples of stolen internal documents. The breach involved internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware incident; no customer database size or precise list of exposed data types has been publicly detailed. The listing appeared on the group’s onion site, which is tracked by ransomware-monitoring services such as ransomware.live. As of the publication date, there is no confirmed evidence that the brewer paid a ransom or that the files were removed from the leak site.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a small or mid-sized company like a local brewery suffers a breach, the information it holds is often more personal than many realise. Order records can contain names, delivery addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. Payment details, even if partially redacted, frequently leave enough context for fraudsters to attempt identity theft or phishing. If you or members of your family have bought beer online, signed up for special-offer emails, or entered competitions run by the company, your details may now be in attackers’ hands. Once that information circulates on criminal forums, it rarely disappears.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Stolen internal files often contain more than names and addresses. They can include order notes, customer account IDs, supplier spreadsheets or staff contact lists that link one piece of information to another. Attackers use these connections to build identity chains — linking an email from a brewery order to a gaming username, a family address, or a reused password. A single breach like this can therefore cascade into account takeovers across unrelated services. Credential leaks like this one cascade into account takeovers and doxxing chains, which is why protecting both adult and children’s gaming accounts has become part of basic family digital hygiene.

DragonForce’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes DragonForce’s emergence to late 2023. The group has since targeted organisations across multiple sectors, with notable prior victims including manufacturing firms, local government bodies and other small-to-medium enterprises. Their typical playbook begins with initial access through phishing or exploited remote desktop services, followed by exfiltration of internal files and deployment of ransomware. They then extort victims by threatening to publish the stolen data on their leak site if payment is not made. Exact success rates and ransom demands remain opaque, but the group consistently follows through on publishing samples when victims do not pay.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your email addresses, phone numbers, handles and real-world identity so you can see exactly what this claimed breach may have exposed.
• Rotate any password you used when ordering from Lincoln Green Brewing or any related site, and switch on two-factor authentication through an authenticator app rather than SMS.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next time your information appears it is caught within hours rather than months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same home address or parent email.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and leak sites for you while you focus on securing the accounts that matter most to your family.

The incident is a reminder that even everyday purchases can create long-term digital exposure.
