On IT Listed by termite Ransomware Group

On April 10, 2025, the ransomware group known as Termite added On IT to its leak site and published samples of internal files it claims to have stolen from the company.

Reported Details of the Breach

Public reporting indicates that On IT, an IT services provider specializing in digital transformation, managed services, data analysis, project management, technical training, and support for small and medium-sized businesses, suffered a ransomware attack. The group posted evidence on its dark-web leak site, accessible via the address hosted on ransomware.live. Available reporting describes the exposed material as internal files exfiltrated during the incident. The exact number of people whose personal information was contained in the files remains unknown.

At the time of posting, Termite had not publicly listed a specific extortion deadline for On IT, though the group’s typical pattern involves giving victims a short window before releasing larger volumes of data.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When an IT services company is breached, the ripple effects reach far beyond the business itself. On IT works with many ordinary organizations that handle everyday customer records, employee payroll data, and vendor information. If your employer, your child’s school, your doctor’s office, or your local supplier uses similar managed-service providers, your personal details could already be sitting in files like the ones now circulating.

Credential leaks and internal documents from these incidents often surface weeks or months later on multiple underground marketplaces. Once that happens, anyone with your email address, phone number, or reused password becomes a target for account takeovers, identity theft, or harassment. Families feel this directly when a parent’s work email leads to a child’s gaming account being compromised through linked credentials.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Ransomware operators rarely stop at encrypting files. They exfiltrate data precisely because it can be monetized through doxxing chains. A single leaked spreadsheet containing names, emails, phone numbers, or internal notes can be cross-referenced with information from previous breaches. Attackers then map how your work identity connects to personal accounts, social-media handles, and family members.

This is exactly why credential leaks like the On IT incident cascade into account takeovers and doxxing chains. Gaming accounts belonging to you or your children are frequent secondary targets because they often reuse the same passwords or recovery emails exposed in business breaches.

Termite Ransomware Group’s Track Record

Public reporting attributes the attacks to the Termite ransomware group. The group emerged in late 2024 and has focused primarily on small and mid-sized businesses rather than large corporations. Notable prior victims include other managed-service providers and companies in the professional-services sector. Their typical playbook involves initial access through phishing or exploited remote-desktop services, followed by exfiltration of internal documents, and then double-extortion: demanding payment both to decrypt systems and to prevent publication of stolen data. When victims do not pay, Termite publishes samples on its leak site and threatens full release.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, handles, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what chains back to the On IT breach.
• Rotate any password you used at On IT or any of its client organizations, then enable 2FA through an authenticator app instead of SMS.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next time your information appears it is caught within hours rather than months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same addresses and recovery emails.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and leak sites for you while you focus on securing your own accounts.
