On February 11, 2026, construction contractor R.J. Zavoral & Sons, Inc. appeared on the leak site of the dragonforce ransomware group. The company, founded in 1951 and based in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. While the exact number of people whose information may have been exposed remains unknown, anyone whose personal or employment records were stored in the company’s systems could be affected.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting
Public reporting indicates that dragonforce listed R.J. Zavoral & Sons on its data-leak portal after the company apparently did not meet the group’s demands. The exposed material consists of internal files taken before encryption. No confirmed count of stolen records has been published, and the precise data types have not been itemized in available reporting. The company provides earth-moving, asphalt paving, road and rail construction, and underground utility services across the Red River Valley. Its client base includes municipalities, private businesses, and local industries.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a local employer or contractor suffers a breach, the ripple effects reach employees, subcontractors, suppliers, and their households. Internal files often contain names, addresses, Social Security numbers, payroll details, insurance records, and vendor contacts. Once that information leaves a company’s control, it can surface on dark-web markets within weeks. For ordinary families in the Red River Valley, this means heightened risk of identity theft, tax fraud, or unexpected collection calls. Children’s school or medical records linked to a parent’s employment file can also enter the same data streams.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications
Credential leaks and internal documents rarely stay isolated. A single exposed email or phone number can be correlated with gaming usernames, social-media handles, and family addresses. Attackers chain these data points together to build full profiles, enabling harassment, SIM-swapping, or targeted extortion. In construction-sector incidents, employee rosters and project bids sometimes reveal home addresses tied to company vehicles or insurance forms. This creates a direct pathway from corporate breach to personal doxxing. Gaming accounts belonging to you or your children are especially vulnerable because the same passwords or recovery emails are often reused across work and home life.
