Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects Listed by Booba Project Ransomware Group

On July 22, 2026, architecture firm Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects appeared on the leak site operated by the Booba Project ransomware group. The listing states that internal files totaling 45 GB were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. The disclosure does not specify the number of individuals whose information may be contained in the stolen data, nor does it list exact file types beyond confirming that sensitive internal documents were taken.

Details from the Leak Site

The Booba Project leak page indicates the data was obtained through a ransomware deployment and that exfiltration occurred prior to encryption. It presents 45 GB of architectural and planning documents as proof of compromise. The notification does not quantify affected records or name specific categories such as client contracts, employee personal information, or financial records. Public views of the leak site show sample files but do not reveal the full scope of personal data included.

The incident follows the group’s standard pattern of posting proof packages and threatening full data release if demands are not met. No ransom amount is publicly listed on the page, and the disclosure does not state whether negotiations occurred.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When an architecture firm’s internal files are stolen, the information often includes contracts, project bids, employee directories, insurance details, and correspondence that can contain names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and financial account references. If your family has ever worked with an architectural firm, lived in a building designed by one, or had personal documents routed through such a business, your information may now sit in an attacker’s archive.

Even when the victim count is listed as unknown, the real-world exposure is concrete. Stolen internal files frequently become the starting point for identity theft, loan fraud, and targeted phishing campaigns against both current and former employees as well as clients.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Architectural project files often contain not only corporate data but also personal details of homeowners, tenants, and subcontractors. Attackers can combine these records with other leaked credentials to build detailed profiles. A single exposed email or phone number from the 45 GB cache can link to your gaming accounts, social-media handles, and family addresses, creating a chain that leads to doxxing or account takeovers.

Credential leaks of this nature frequently cascade into children’s gaming accounts that reuse the same passwords or recovery emails. Once an attacker controls one account tied to a household address, they can map the entire family’s digital footprint.

Booba Project’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the Booba Project ransomware group with activity that intensified in late 2024. The group typically gains initial access through phishing or exploited remote desktop protocols, exfiltrates data before deploying ransomware, and then runs a double-extortion campaign by threatening both encryption and public leaks. Notable prior victims have included manufacturing companies, professional service firms, and healthcare providers, though exact details vary across leak sites. The group maintains its own leak portal and posts proof packages on aggregator platforms such as ransomware.live.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, usernames, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what the 45 GB cache may have exposed.
• Rotate any password used at Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects or related professional services anywhere it has been reused, and switch to a hardware-backed authenticator app for 2FA.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 15.4B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak that touches your household is flagged within hours rather than months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which often become targets when credential chains lead back to a shared family address.
• Let DoxxScan remediation specialists manage takedown requests for any exposed personal documents or broker listings that surface from this incident.

The exposure of 45 GB of internal architectural files on July 22, 2026, shows how quickly professional-service data can become public ammunition for identity thieves. Staying ahead requires more than checking a single breach list; it demands ongoing visibility and expert help. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers continuous monitoring across 15.4B+ breach records and 100+ platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, and hands-on remediation by specialists, with full household coverage that includes children’s gaming accounts. Acting now limits the damage from both this breach and the ones that will inevitably follow.
