On January 9, 2025, the Akira ransomware group listed Old National Events Plaza on its leak site and began offering more than 100 gigabytes of the venue’s internal files for download via torrent. The data includes confidential licenses, agreements, contracts, financial audits, payment details, reports, and contact information for employees and customers.

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
Public reporting indicates the attackers exfiltrated internal corporate documents from the 280,000-square-foot event facility in Evansville, Indiana. The Akira leak page describes the stolen material as containing licenses, contracts, financial records, and lists of employee and customer names, phone numbers, and email addresses. The group simplified access by packaging the files for torrent clients such as uTorrent, qBittorrent, and Transmission. No confirmed victim count has been released, and it remains unclear exactly how many individuals appear in the exposed contact data.
January 9, 2025 marks the public disclosure date on the ransomware site. The breach follows the group’s standard pattern of stealing data before encrypting systems and then using the threat of publication to pressure payment.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When an event venue’s customer database is stolen, anyone who has booked a wedding, corporate gathering, fundraiser, or birthday party at Old National Events Plaza may now have their personal details circulating among criminals. That single exposure can give attackers the email addresses, phone numbers, and sometimes payment information needed to launch convincing phishing campaigns or identity-theft attempts against you or members of your household. Children’s names linked to family events can also surface, creating long-term risks that stretch beyond the original breach.
