On September 09, 2024, Belgian insurance cooperative P&V appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group Killsec. The listing states that Killsec compromised a third-party provider, exfiltrated internal files from P&V’s SaaS enterprise clients, and will publish all relevant documents if a resolution is not reached. Anyone whose insurance records, contracts, or personal data flow through P&V or its SaaS platforms may now be exposed.
Already exposed?
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 from the Listing
The Killsec leak-site entry explicitly names pv.be and describes the incident as a ransomware attack that targeted a third-party provider rather than P&V’s core network directly. It states that data related to SaaS enterprise clients was exfiltrated, though the listing does not quantify the number of affected records or name the precise third-party vendor involved. The disclosure indicates that publication of the stolen files is conditional on whether “a resolution” is reached, a common extortion signal. No ransom amount is stated in the public listing.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When an insurance company’s SaaS environment is breached, the files taken often contain policy documents, claims histories, payment details, and correspondence that link names, addresses, dates of birth, and financial information. Even if you are an individual policyholder rather than an enterprise client, your data can sit inside the same shared platforms. A single leak like this can give criminals enough to open accounts in your name, file false claims, or combine your details with other breaches to build a complete profile. For families, this risk extends to joint policies, children listed as dependents, and any shared contact information stored by the insurer.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk
Insurance data is high-value precisely because it ties real-world identity to financial activity and family relationships. Once exfiltrated, these records become the foundation of doxxing chains: an email or phone number from a P&V file can be cross-referenced with credential leaks from other services, gaming accounts, or social-media handles. The result is a map that lets attackers target you or your children across multiple platforms. Credential leaks of this type frequently cascade into account takeovers, especially for family gaming accounts that reuse passwords or recovery emails. Continuous monitoring that traces these connections is one of the few practical defenses once the data has left the victim’s control.
