On February 29, 2024, the ransomware group Black Basta added pdq-airspares.co.uk to its public leak site, claiming that it had exfiltrated roughly 500 GB of the UK aerospace parts supplier’s internal files. The company, which provides consumables to airlines and maintenance organisations worldwide, now faces the reality that its corporate data and personal user documents are in the hands of extortionists. If your name, address, employment records, or any other personal information passed through PDQ Airspares, this claimed breach directly concerns you and your family.

Primary Disclosure Details
The Black Basta leak site lists PDQ Airspares as a victim and states that attackers extracted 500 GB+ of material described as “Corporate data” and “Personal users documents & etc.” The listing does not specify exact record counts or name the precise files taken. The disclosure indicates the data was obtained during a ransomware incident; no ransom amount or payment deadline is published on the page. The primary source remains the onion link hosted on the group’s leak portal, mirrored publicly via ransomware.live.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a supplier in the aerospace supply chain is hit, the ripple effects reach ordinary people. Employees, contractors, customers, and even pilots or maintenance technicians who shared identity documents, training certificates, or contact details may now find that information circulating among criminals. Personal users documents can include scanned passports, addresses, phone numbers, and email accounts — exactly the building blocks needed for identity theft, loan fraud, or targeted phishing. Your family’s exposure does not end at the company’s front door; once data leaves a breached network it travels indefinitely.
Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks
Leaked corporate files rarely contain isolated records. A single spreadsheet can link an employee’s work email to their home address, spouse’s name, and children’s school details. Attackers then cross-reference these with usernames found in the same archive, creating long identity chains that stretch into social media, gaming platforms, and financial services. A credential exposed here can unlock an airline loyalty account, a family email inbox, or a child’s Roblox or Fortnite profile. The result is cascading takeovers that feel personal and relentless.
