North Texas Municipal Water District Listed by Daixin Ransomware Group

If you are a resident of North Texas Municipal Water District, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) provides vital wholesale water, wastewater and solid waste management services to more than two million people who call North Texas their home.
— from Daixin’s own leak-site posting. This is the group’s claim, quoted verbatim; it is not GalaxyWarden’s reporting and has not been independently verified.

North Texas Municipal Water District Listed by Daixin Ransomware Group

On November 28, 2023, the North Texas Municipal Water District appeared on the leak site operated by the daixin ransomware group. Anyone whose personal information is held by this public utility — which supplies water, wastewater, and solid waste services to more than two million North Texas residents — may now be at risk. The listing indicates that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware incident, although the precise number of affected individuals and the exact data types remain undisclosed in the public posting.

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.

Details in the Leak-Site Listing

The daixin leak site, mirrored on ransomware.live, states that the North Texas Municipal Water District suffered a ransomware attack in which internal files were exfiltrated. No specific volume of records is provided, nor does the listing enumerate categories such as names, addresses, Social Security numbers, or payment details. The disclosure simply states that data was taken and is now hosted for anyone to download unless the district meets the group’s demands. This lack of detail is typical of many ransomware leak-site postings, which often prioritize pressure over precise disclosure.

November 28, 2023 marks the first public confirmation of the incident through this channel. The utility has not yet released a detailed breach notification quantifying impact, leaving residents and employees to rely on the attacker’s claims for initial awareness.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or anyone in your household receives water service from the North Texas Municipal Water District, your personal information may sit inside the stolen files. Utility records routinely contain names, service addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and payment histories. When such data leaves controlled systems, it can be sold, traded, or used to launch targeted attacks against you. Even without exact record counts, the exposure of internal files from a utility serving two million people represents a meaningful risk to everyday families across North Texas.

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.
