On December 1, 2024, McKibbin Commercial, a long-established Northern Ireland firm of chartered surveyors, estate agents and valuers founded in Belfast in 1902, was listed on the leak site of the incransom ransomware group. The listing states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. The disclosure does not specify the number of records affected or the exact types of documents taken.

Details in the Leak-Site Listing
The incransom leak site, accessed via the address published on ransomware.live, claims that McKibbin Commercial suffered a ransomware intrusion and that attackers successfully removed internal files. No sample data is shown in the initial post, and the listing does not quantify the volume or list specific data categories such as client names, valuation reports, lease agreements or financial records. The notification simply confirms that exfiltration occurred and that the company now faces public exposure of those files unless demands are met. This matches the standard format used by the group on its onion-site blog.
December 1, 2024 marks the first public disclosure date for this incident. Because the primary source is the attacker’s own leak page, independent verification of the exact breach timeline or initial access vector remains unavailable.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
If you have ever bought, sold, rented or had a property valued by McKibbin Commercial, your personal or business details may sit inside the stolen files. Landlords, tenants, home buyers and small businesses across Northern Ireland routinely supply addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, bank details for transactions, proof of identity and sometimes copies of passports or driving licences. When such information leaves a regulated property firm through a ransomware attack, it does not stay contained. It can appear on dark-web markets within weeks, feeding identity theft, loan fraud and phishing campaigns aimed at you or members of your household.
