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.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates that cmdorganization posted Metco Services to its data-leak portal on that date. The exposed material consists of internal files obtained after the group encrypted systems and demanded payment. The exact number of people whose personal information appears in the files remains unknown, as neither the company nor the threat actors have released a full accounting of the records involved.

Metco Services specializes in water and wastewater infrastructure projects for public utilities. Its client base includes municipalities across four states, which means project documents, vendor contracts, employee records, and potentially resident billing or permitting data could be part of the stolen archive.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a local engineering firm that works with city water departments is breached, the ripple effects reach ordinary households. Your address, phone number, email, or payment details tied to municipal services may sit inside the stolen files. Once that information reaches criminal marketplaces, it can be used for identity theft, phishing, or targeted scams against you and your family.

Unverified claim — what this report is

This page documents a public listing on a ransomware/extortion group’s leak site, tracked via public threat-intelligence sources. A listing is the attacker’s claim. GalaxyWarden aggregates and reports such claims; we have not independently verified that a breach occurred, what data (if any) was taken, or the accuracy of anything the group asserts, and the named organisation has not necessarily confirmed the incident. Sections above describe what the listing shows and the group’s documented history — not verified findings about the named organisation. If you represent this organisation and believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us and we’ll review it promptly.

Editorial & sourcing policy

GalaxyWarden is a breach-monitoring service and news aggregator. We do not exfiltrate, host, purchase, or redistribute stolen data. Breach information is compiled from publicly accessible sources and threat-intelligence platforms, and is reported as claims attributed to their source. We promptly correct or remove material shown to be inaccurate — see our content & takedown policy or write to support@galaxywarden.com.
