mylikowines.co.uk Listed by safepay Ransomware Group

On April 5, 2025, the UK online wine retailer mylikowines.co.uk appeared on the leak site of the safepay ransomware group after its internal files were allegedly exfiltrated during a ransomware attack.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

Public reporting indicates that safepay listed the British wine merchant on its dark-web leak portal, accessible via the onion address hosted on ransomware.live. The data consists of internal files stolen in the ransomware incident. The exact number of people affected remains unknown because the company has not published a detailed breach notice and the posted sample does not reveal customer records. Available reporting describes the incident as a classic ransomware double-extortion case in which the operator first encrypts systems and then threatens to publish stolen data unless a ransom is paid.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a retailer you have shopped with loses control of internal files, any personal details you provided — name, delivery address, phone number, email, or payment information — can surface in unexpected places. For ordinary families this means increased risk of phishing emails that look legitimate because they reference past orders, identity thieves using your address and phone to open accounts, or stalkers locating your home through seemingly harmless purchase history. Even one exposed email or phone can serve as the starting point for larger attacks that pull in every account tied to those details.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Stolen internal files often contain spreadsheets that link customer names to addresses, order histories, and contact information. Attackers or opportunistic criminals can combine this data with information already circulating on criminal forums. The result is an identity chain: an email from the wine shop leads to a reused password on another site, which leads to a gaming account belonging to a child who uses the same family address. Public reporting shows these chains frequently end in doxxing, account takeovers, or extortion demands directed at the household. Credential leaks like this one routinely cascade into gaming account takeovers because children and parents often share similar passwords across retail, email, and gaming platforms.

Safepay Group Track Record

Public reporting attributes safepay with emerging in late 2024 as a ransomware operation that combines encryption with data-theft extortion. The group has listed retailers, small manufacturers, and professional-services firms. Its typical playbook involves initial access through phishing or exploited remote-desktop services, followed by exfiltration of internal documents, then publication on a leak site if the victim refuses to pay. The group’s demands usually include a short payment deadline measured in days, after which samples or full datasets are released incrementally to increase pressure.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what this claimed breach connects to.
• Rotate the password you used at mylikowines.co.uk anywhere else it is reused 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 leak exposing you or your family is caught in hours, not months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same address or email.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and exposed profiles while you focus on securing your own accounts.
