novafp.com Listed by DragonForce Ransomware Group

On April 14, 2026, Nova Fire Protection Inc. appeared on the leak site of the DragonForce ransomware group. The Chicago-area company, which installs and maintains sprinkler systems for homes and businesses, may have had internal files stolen during a ransomware attack. Public reporting indicates that customer and employee information may have been included in the exfiltrated data, although the exact number of affected individuals 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

DragonForce posted proof of the compromise on its dark-web leak site, listing Nova Fire Protection as a victim. The data consists of internal files exfiltrated after the attackers gained access to the company’s network. No specific count of exposed records has been published. The posting appeared on April 14, 2026, and follows the group’s standard pattern of publishing stolen data when ransom demands are not met.

Available reporting describes Nova Fire Protection as a local specialist in fire suppression systems, serving both residential and commercial clients across the Chicago region. Its customers include homeowners whose addresses, contact details, and service histories are likely stored in the company’s internal records.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a local service provider like a fire protection company is breached, the information exposed is often exactly what criminals need to target you at home. Names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and sometimes payment records can appear in the stolen files. Once that data reaches criminal marketplaces, it can be used for identity theft, phishing calls pretending to be from your “fire safety company,” or more sophisticated scams aimed at 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.
