Pro Metals LLC Listed by INC Ransom Ransomware Group

On November 23, 2023, Pro Metals LLC appeared on the leak site operated by the incransom ransomware group. The Kansas City, Kansas-based metal fabrication company, founded in 2007, is the latest small business whose internal files were allegedly exfiltrated during a ransomware attack and publicly listed for extortion.

Details from the Leak Listing

The incransom leak site states that Pro Metals LLC suffered a ransomware incident in which attackers exfiltrated internal files. The listing does not quantify how many records were taken, name specific document types, or disclose any ransom demand. It simply states that data was stolen and warns that the files will be published if the company does not meet the group’s terms. No customer, employee, or partner names are detailed in the public posting itself, though the nature of “internal files” from a metal fabrication firm typically includes business records that can contain personal information.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a local business like Pro Metals is hit, the exposure often reaches beyond the company walls. Suppliers, customers, employees, and their families can find their names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, or banking details inside contracts, invoices, HR files, or scanned tax documents. Once that information sits on a ransomware leak site, it becomes freely available to identity thieves, fraudsters, and stalkers. Small-business breaches now account for a growing share of family identity risk because everyday vendors hold the same sensitive data that large corporations do, yet they often lack enterprise-grade protections.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Stolen internal files rarely stay isolated. A single leaked email address or phone number can be chained with data from previous breaches to map your full digital footprint—linking your work identity to personal accounts, social-media handles, and even your children’s gaming profiles. Attackers then use these connections for credential-stuffing attacks, SIM-swapping, or targeted extortion. In cases like this, the real damage frequently appears months later when fraudulent loans are opened, tax returns are filed in your name, or harassing messages arrive at home. The incransom listing adds another node to that chain for anyone whose data touched Pro Metals’ systems.

Incransom’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes incransom with emerging in mid-2023 as a double-extortion operation that combines file encryption with data theft and public shaming. The group has listed manufacturing, construction, and professional-services firms, favoring small and midsize targets that lack dedicated incident-response teams. Their typical playbook begins with initial access through phishing or exploited remote-desktop credentials, followed by claimed exfiltration of documents before encryption. They then publish samples on their leak site and set short deadlines for payment, threatening full data release. While the exact number of victims remains unclear, the group’s rapid appearance on multiple ransomware-tracking platforms shows an aggressive growth pattern common among newer ransomware outfits.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, then use the cleanup of Warden to break those chains.
• Rotate any password you ever used at Pro Metals or its related business accounts, and enable 2FA through an authenticator app rather than text messages.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure surfaces in hours instead of months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which often become the next link in doxxing chains after a parent’s data appears in a business breach.
• Let remediation specialists handle data-broker takedown requests and opt-out processes that would otherwise consume weeks of your time.
