Paradise Custom Kitchens Listed by losttrust Ransomware Group

On September 26, 2023, Paradise Custom Kitchens appeared on the leak site operated by the losttrust ransomware group. The New Jersey-based custom cabinetry and remodeling company, which specializes in kitchen and bath design, had its internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. The listing does not specify how many individuals are affected or exactly which records were taken, but anyone whose information passed through the company—customers, suppliers, or employees—may now face heightened exposure.

Details from the Leak-Site Listing

The primary disclosure on the losttrust leak site states that Paradise Custom Kitchens suffered a ransomware incident in which attackers successfully exfiltrated internal files. No victim count, ransom amount, or detailed inventory of stolen data is provided in the listing. The entry simply states that the company’s data has been published after what the group describes as an unsuccessful negotiation. Public views of the leak site show samples of the allegedly stolen material, though the full archive size and precise contents remain undisclosed by the actors.

Internal files exfiltrated is the only data-type description given. This phrasing typically covers documents, spreadsheets, emails, customer records, vendor contracts, and employee information that ransomware operators routinely target for leverage.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a local business like Paradise Custom Kitchens loses control of its internal files, the people whose names, addresses, phone numbers, or payment details appear in those records become collateral targets. Even if you only interacted with the company as a customer years ago, your information may now sit in an archive available to other criminals. Families who paid for remodeling work, submitted design requests, or supplied materials could see their contact details surface in follow-on fraud schemes or identity-theft attempts. The breach matters because small and mid-sized service businesses rarely maintain the same level of security controls found at larger corporations, yet they routinely handle the same categories of personal data.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Exposed internal files frequently contain more than names and addresses. They can link email accounts, phone numbers, project notes, and payment records in ways that let attackers build a complete identity chain. Once criminals connect your information from this claimed breach to usernames used on social media, shopping sites, or gaming platforms, they can launch targeted phishing, account takeovers, or harassment campaigns. Credential leaks of this nature often cascade into children’s gaming accounts that share the same family email or password patterns, turning a single business breach into household-wide exposure. Continuous monitoring across large breach repositories is one of the few practical defenses against these expanding chains.

Losttrust Group Track Record

Public reporting attributes losttrust with emerging in mid-2023 as a ransomware and extortion operation. The group typically gains initial access through phishing, remote-desktop protocol weaknesses, or compromised credentials before deploying ransomware and exfiltrating data for double-extortion pressure. Notable prior victims include other small-to-medium businesses across manufacturing, professional services, and retail sectors. Their playbook relies on publishing stolen files on a leak site when ransom demands go unmet, aiming to shame victims into payment while simultaneously offering the data to third-party buyers. The exact tactics used against Paradise Custom Kitchens have not been detailed, but the group’s established pattern aligns with the listing observed on September 26, 2023.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, then use the cleanup of Warden to reduce your footprint.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure surfaces in hours rather than months.
• Rotate any password you ever used when dealing with Paradise Custom Kitchens and enable 2FA through an authenticator app everywhere that password was reused.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which often chain back to the same breached contact details.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests for any personal information already appearing on data-broker or extortion sites.

The incident underscores that even regional service companies can become gateways to personal exposure long after a project ends. One practical forward step is to treat every vendor interaction as a potential link in an identity chain and maintain active visibility into where your data surfaces. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers that visibility through continuous monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, hands-on remediation by specialists, and full household coverage that includes children’s gaming accounts vulnerable to credential-based takeovers.
