On February 14, 2024, the ransomware group 8base added architecture firm RSHP to its public leak site, claiming that the company’s internal files had been exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. Anyone whose personal or professional data was stored in those systems — including clients, employees, contractors, and their families — may now face long-term exposure.

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 8base leak-site entry states that RSHP, an award-winning architectural practice of approximately 180 staff operating globally from rshp.com, suffered a ransomware incident in which internal files were exfiltrated. The listing does not disclose the exact number of records affected, the specific types of documents taken, or any ransom demand. It simply marks the victim as “published” on February 14, 2024, and provides a sample of the allegedly stolen material as proof. No formal breach notification from RSHP had appeared in public regulator filings at the time the listing went live.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When an architectural firm’s internal files are stolen, the exposure often reaches far beyond the company. Client contracts, project bids, employee directories, correspondence containing personal addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and financial details can all be included. If your home, office, or family project was designed or managed by RSHP, your information may now sit in an attacker-controlled archive. Once exfiltrated data leaves the victim’s control, it can be sold, reposted, or used months or years later, turning a corporate breach into a persistent personal risk for you and your household.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk
Internal files from architectural practices frequently contain chains of identifying information: an employee’s work email linked to their personal mobile number, a client’s home address tied to family names, or project notes that mention children’s schools or hobbies. These fragments allow attackers to build an identity chain that connects seemingly unrelated online handles to real-world identities. The same credential or personal detail leaked here can be reused to compromise email accounts, banking portals, or even gaming logins. Credential leaks like this one routinely cascade into account takeovers and doxxing chains that affect not only the primary victim but everyone linked by address, phone, or shared passwords.
