Pools by Bradley Listed by sinobi Ransomware Group

On January 5, 2026, Pools by Bradley, a custom pool and spa builder serving families across Central Florida, had its internal files listed for download on the leak site of the sinobi ransomware group. The company, which designs and constructs personalized outdoor pools, spas, water features, and entertainment installations primarily in the Orlando area, confirmed that client-related records were among the exfiltrated data.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

Public reporting indicates the incident began as a ransomware attack in which sinobi gained access to the company’s internal systems, exfiltrated files, and later published a sample of the stolen data on its dedicated leak site. The exposed materials consist of internal files rather than a structured database dump. No precise count of affected individuals has been released, but the nature of a custom pool builder’s records suggests the data includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and project details for residential clients. The listing appeared on the sinobi leak site hosted at an onion address tracked by ransomware.live.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a local business that builds pools for families experiences a breach, the information exposed is often exactly what criminals need to target you at home. Names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails tied to a physical residence can be combined with other publicly available details to create convincing spear-phishing messages, fake contractor invoices, or even physical intimidation attempts. For families in Central Florida who hired Pools by Bradley, this claimed breach turns a routine home-improvement relationship into a permanent data liability that can resurface years later.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Stolen customer records rarely stay isolated. A single leaked address or phone number can be linked to your children’s social-media accounts, online gaming profiles, or school-related logins. Once attackers map these connections, they can move from simple identity theft to full doxxing—publishing your family’s home address alongside photos of your pool, daily routines, or children’s usernames. Credential leaks of this type frequently cascade into account takeovers on gaming platforms, where children’s accounts become entry points for further harassment or extortion.

Sinobi Ransomware Group’s Track Record

Public reporting attributes sinobi’s emergence to mid-2024. The group has targeted small and mid-sized businesses across retail, manufacturing, and professional services, typically following a double-extortion playbook: encrypt victim systems, exfiltrate sensitive files, then threaten to publish the data unless a ransom is paid. Notable prior victims include other regional service companies whose client lists were used to pressure executives personally. Sinobi’s leak site continues to post new victims on a regular schedule, indicating an active and expanding operation.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what this claimed breach connects to.
• Rotate any password you used when dealing with Pools by Bradley or similar local vendors, then enable 2FA through an authenticator app on every account where that password was reused.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak exposing your family is caught in hours rather than months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which often chain back to the same address or parent email.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and exposed profiles while you focus on securing your daily life.
