On December 16, 2025, Power Curbers, a North Carolina manufacturer founded in 1953, appeared on the leak site of the sinobi ransomware group. The company’s internal files were allegedly exfiltrated during a ransomware attack, placing customer, employee, and operational data at risk of public release or sale.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting
Public reporting indicates that sinobi posted details of the Power Curbers breach on its dark-web leak portal. The listing references exfiltrated internal files but does not specify the exact number of records or the full scope of information taken. Available details confirm the company, based in Salisbury, North Carolina, produces specialized curb-forming machinery, including the long-standing Power Curber 150 extruder model. No confirmed timeline of the initial intrusion has been released, though ransomware incidents of this type typically involve weeks or months between access and public listing.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a local manufacturer’s internal files are stolen, the information inside often includes details that reach ordinary customers and employees. Customer records, vendor contacts, employee payroll data, and email correspondence can appear in the hands of criminals who combine them with other leaks. For you and your family, this means another vector for identity theft, phishing campaigns, or unwanted solicitations that feel personal because the attackers know where you live or what you bought. Even if you never purchased heavy machinery, suppliers, contractors, or local workers tied to the company can inadvertently expose household information that chains back to your address and phone number.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks
Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one company. Criminals scan stolen files for names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses, then cross-reference them against dozens of other breaches. This creates an identity chain that links your professional life to personal accounts, social-media handles, and even your children’s online profiles. Once the chain exists, opportunistic attackers can move from simple data sales to targeted doxxing, account takeovers, or harassment. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into gaming platforms, where children’s accounts become entry points because parents reuse passwords or email addresses across work and home.
