MDB Listed by rhysida Ransomware Group

On April 26, 2025, Italian company MDB Srl appeared on the leak site of the Rhysida ransomware group. The listing indicates that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack on the firm founded in 1977 by Mario Di Biase in Abruzzo, Italy. While the exact number of people whose information is contained in the files remains unknown, anyone whose personal data was stored in MDB’s systems could now be exposed.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

Public reporting on the Rhysida leak site, tracked by ransomware.live, shows that MDB Srl was listed on April 26, 2025. The group claims to have stolen internal files during a ransomware incident. No confirmed victim count has been published, and the precise data types have not been independently verified beyond the description of “internal files.” Available reporting describes the incident as a classic ransomware deployment involving both encryption and data exfiltration.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company like MDB loses control of internal files, the information inside often includes names, addresses, contact details, dates of birth, tax identifiers, or payment records of customers, suppliers, or employees. If your data was among it, criminals now hold fresh material that can be used for identity theft, phishing, or sold on underground markets. For families this means increased risk of fraudulent loans taken out in your name, unexpected bills, or targeted scams aimed at your household. Children’s records, if present, can create long-term problems because their credit files are usually not monitored.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Stolen internal files frequently contain email addresses, usernames, or phone numbers that link your online handles to your real identity. Once attackers possess even one valid connection, they can chain it with data from previous breaches to build a complete profile. This is how doxxing escalates: a single leaked record leads to gaming accounts, social-media profiles, and eventually home addresses or family photographs. Credential leaks like this one regularly cascade into account takeovers precisely because the same password or email is reused across services, including gaming platforms used by children.

Rhysida’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the Rhysida ransomware group’s emergence to mid-2023. The group has targeted hospitals, schools, and private businesses across multiple countries. Its typical playbook involves gaining initial access through phishing or exploited remote-desktop services, exfiltrating data before deploying ransomware, then publishing samples on its leak site if the victim does not pay. Extortion demands are usually followed by short deadlines and the gradual release of additional stolen files to increase pressure.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, usernames, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what chains now exist because of this claimed breach.
• Rotate the password you used anywhere it was reused at MDB or related services, then enable two-factor authentication through an authenticator app rather than SMS.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1 billion+ breach records and more than 100 platforms so the next time your information surfaces you learn within hours instead of months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which often become targets when credential leaks create doxxing chains.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and exposed profiles while you focus on securing your own accounts.

The MDB incident is a reminder that data held by any company can suddenly appear on a ransomware leak site with little warning. Taking concrete steps now limits how far attackers can travel down the identity chain created by this and future breaches. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers continuous monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, hands-on remediation by specialists, and full household coverage that includes children’s gaming accounts.
