Oahu Transit Services Listed by DragonForce Ransomware Group

Oahu Transit Services was listed on the DragonForce ransomware leak site on June 16, 2024, claiming that the Honolulu bus and ferry operator suffered a ransomware attack in which internal files were exfiltrated. The company, which operates TheBus and The Boat services, may have had customer records exposed, including names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and government-issued ID details for an undisclosed number of individuals.

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.

Primary Disclosure Details

The DragonForce leak site listing states that Oahu Transit Services suffered a ransomware attack and that attackers successfully exfiltrated internal files. The primary disclosure does not quantify the exact number of affected records, though the posted sample database contains columns such as FName, LName, Addr1, Phone, SSN, DOB, IDNumber, and ZipCode. No ransom demand figure or negotiation status appears in the listing itself. The incident was first surfaced publicly through the ransomware.live mirror of the DragonForce site on June 16, 2024.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or anyone in your household has used Oahu Transit Services — whether for daily bus commutes on TheBus, the new ferry service The Boat, or any pass or permit — your personal information may now sit in an attacker-controlled archive. SSN, DOB, home address, and government ID numbers are the exact ingredients needed for identity theft, tax fraud, and account takeovers. Because the breach involves transit passes and resident status flags, children’s records or family accounts used for discounted fares could also be included. The exposure is not abstract: real people in Hawaii now face heightened risk of targeted scams pretending to come from local transit authorities.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Transit records frequently link real names and addresses to phone numbers, email addresses (sometimes through payment systems), and even photos attached to ADA or senior passes. Once attackers possess this core dataset, they can chain it with information from other breaches to build complete profiles. A single leaked phone number or address can tie your gaming username, social-media handles, and children’s school-related accounts together. Public reporting on similar transit breaches shows that such data is quickly repackaged and sold on underground forums, feeding long-term doxxing campaigns and SIM-swapping attempts.

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.
