Next Level Solutions Listed by pear Ransomware Group

On September 9, 2025, the pear Ransomware Group added Next Level Solutions to its public leak site, claiming that internal files had been exfiltrated from the company during a ransomware attack.

What Public Reporting Shows

Next Level Solutions is a business services provider that partners with other companies for accounting, human resources, and technology deployment support. Public reporting indicates the firm’s internal documents are now hosted on the pear leak site, though the exact volume of data and the number of individuals whose records were exposed remain undisclosed. Available reporting describes the incident as a classic ransomware operation in which attackers gained access, exfiltrated files, and later listed the victim when negotiations apparently failed.

Internal files were taken; no customer count has been published. The listing appeared on the group’s onion site, which is tracked by ransomware.live. As of this writing, the data has not been broadly distributed beyond the leak portal, but its presence there means copies could surface on other forums at any time.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company that handles accounting, payroll, or HR for other businesses is breached, the ripple effects reach ordinary customers and employees. Tax documents, direct-deposit details, Social Security numbers, addresses, and employment records are common in such environments. If your employer or a service you use works with Next Level Solutions, your personal information may now sit inside the stolen files.

Exposed employee and client data can be sold quietly or used to launch targeted attacks against you months later. Children’s information sometimes appears in family-benefits or dependent records, creating long-term risks that many families never anticipate. The breach matters because it turns data you trusted a vendor to protect into ammunition for identity thieves, loan fraud, or harassment.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one company. A single exposed email or phone number can be linked to usernames on social media, gaming platforms, and shopping sites. Attackers follow these chains to build full profiles that include home addresses, family member names, and even children’s online handles. Once the chain is mapped, doxxing, account takeovers, and extortion become straightforward.

Credential leaks cascade into gaming account takeovers when the same password appears in a child’s Roblox, Fortnite, or Steam profile. Public reporting shows these secondary compromises often lead to further leaks of private chats, payment methods, and linked family emails. The longer the chain remains unmapped, the wider the exposure grows.

Pear Ransomware Group’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the pear Ransomware Group with operations that emerged in late 2024. The group typically gains initial access through phishing or exploited remote desktop credentials, exfiltrates data before encrypting systems, and then posts samples on its leak site when victims refuse payment. Notable prior victims include other mid-sized service providers and manufacturers, following a consistent playbook of quiet data theft followed by public shaming after a short negotiation window. Exact success rates are difficult to verify, but the group maintains an active onion portal and updates listings on a near-weekly basis according to trackers such as ransomware.live.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, usernames, and real-world identity so hidden connections become visible.
• Rotate the password you used at Next Level Solutions or any related vendor anywhere it is reused, and switch on 2FA through an authenticator app rather than SMS.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak that touches 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 parent email.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and exposed profiles while you focus on securing accounts at home.
