Reported Details of the Breach

Public reporting indicates the company was hit by a ransomware attack in which attackers exfiltrated data before encrypting systems. The Akira leak page states the group will upload the full archive soon. Exposed information includes employee driver’s licenses and W-9 forms, alongside business records such as financials, drawings, specifications, contracts, and project details. The number of individuals affected remains unknown, but any current or former employee whose documents were stored on the company’s network is potentially at risk.

Available reporting describes the incident as a classic ransomware double-extortion case: data is stolen first, then used as leverage for payment. No evidence has surfaced that the files have been downloaded by third parties yet, but once posted they will be freely available on the dark web.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or a family member ever worked at R. L. Larson Excavating or had personal documents stored with the company, your driver’s license number, tax information, and address are now one click away for identity thieves. A single leaked W-9 can give criminals enough to file fraudulent tax returns or open accounts in your name. Even if you were not directly employed there, these breaches ripple outward—spouses, children, and relatives listed as emergency contacts often become secondary targets.

Driver’s licenses and tax forms are high-value items on underground markets because they link your real identity to addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers. Once that bundle is public, the risk of account takeovers, loan fraud, and doxxing grows quickly.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Stolen internal files rarely stop at the original breach. Criminals use driver’s license photos, addresses, and phone numbers to connect your work identity to personal email accounts, social media handles, and family members. This creates an identity chain that can lead to harassment, swatting, or targeted phishing campaigns against you or your children. Credential leaks of this type frequently cascade into gaming account takeovers, especially when family members reuse passwords or share devices.

Public reporting attributes the attack to the Akira ransomware group, which first appeared in 2023. The group has targeted organizations across healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and professional services. Notable prior victims include municipalities, manufacturers, and other small-to-medium businesses whose employee and client records were later posted for download. Akira’s typical playbook involves initial access through

Unverified claim — what this report is

This page documents a public listing on a ransomware/extortion group’s leak site, tracked via public threat-intelligence sources. A listing is the attacker’s claim. GalaxyWarden aggregates and reports such claims; we have not independently verified that a breach occurred, what data (if any) was taken, or the accuracy of anything the group asserts, and the named organisation has not necessarily confirmed the incident. Sections above describe what the listing shows and the group’s documented history — not verified findings about the named organisation. If you represent this organisation and believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us and we’ll review it promptly.

GalaxyWarden is a breach-monitoring service and news aggregator. We do not exfiltrate, host, purchase, or redistribute stolen data. Breach information is compiled from publicly accessible sources and threat-intelligence platforms, and is reported as claims attributed to their source.
