Microf Listed by Qilin Ransomware Group

If you are a customer of Microf, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

Microf was listed on Qilin's leak site. Qilin claims to have stolen internal data. This is the group's claim, not a confirmed finding.

On June 18, 2025, Microf appeared on the leak site of the qilin ransomware group. The company, which provides financing for HVAC systems and water heaters through lease-to-own plans aimed at homeowners with limited credit options, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated following a ransomware attack. Public reporting indicates that the number of people whose personal information may have been exposed remains unknown.

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.

Reported Details of the Breach

Available reporting describes the incident as a ransomware attack in which attackers gained access to Microf’s systems and removed internal documents before encrypting data. The files were later published on the qilin group’s leak site. No confirmed total of affected customer records has been released by the company or independent researchers. The breach involved internal files that, in similar incidents, often contain names, addresses, Social Security numbers, financial details, and payment histories tied to financing agreements.

Microf has not yet issued a public statement detailing the exact scope or the specific categories of customer data involved. Industry trackers monitoring the qilin leak site continue to observe the listing as of the publication date of this article.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or anyone in your household has ever financed an air conditioner, furnace, water heater, or similar home equipment through Microf, your information could be among the records now in attackers’ hands. Lease-to-own customers with challenged credit are often asked to provide detailed personal and financial data during the quick application process Microf advertises. Once that information leaves the company’s control, it can be used for identity theft, fraudulent loan applications, or sold on underground markets.

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.
