Pearl River Valley Electric Power Association Listed by Akira Ransomware Group

On November 19, 2025, the Akira ransomware group listed Pearl River Valley Electric Power Association on its leak site and announced it would soon publish 62 GB of the Mississippi electric cooperative’s internal files. The data includes employee driver’s licenses, phone numbers, home addresses, email addresses, financial records, contracts, client information, and confidential operational documents belonging to an organization that has served South-Central Mississippi residents since 1938.

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 Incident

Public reporting indicates the cooperative was compromised in a ransomware attack. The Akira group posted a notice stating it had exfiltrated the 62 GB archive and planned to release the full dataset. The exposed material contains sensitive personal records of employees as well as documents that could reveal customer details, internal technologies, accounting data, and signed NDAs. No exact number of affected individuals has been confirmed, but the volume and variety of records suggest the breach touches current and former staff, their families, and potentially thousands of local utility customers whose information appears in contracts and client files.

The incident follows the group’s standard pattern of stealing data before encrypting systems, then using the threat of public release to pressure the victim. As of the listing date, the cooperative had not issued a public statement confirming the breach or detailing remediation steps.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a local utility cooperative loses control of employee and customer records, the fallout reaches ordinary households. Driver’s licenses, addresses, and phone numbers can be combined with email addresses to impersonate you, open accounts in your name, or target your family with phishing and identity theft. Financial and contract documents can expose billing information or payment details that criminals later exploit. Even if you are not an employee, your information may sit inside client files if you receive power from the cooperative.

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.
