Salimetrics Listed by Akira Ransomware Group

On April 21, 2026, Salimetrics appeared on the leak site of the Akira ransomware group. The company, which provides saliva collection devices, assay kits, and testing services used by researchers and clinicians, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. Public reporting indicates the attackers plan to publish employee information, patient data including blood tests and other health details, financial records, and additional confidential files.

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 of the Incident

Available reporting describes Salimetrics as a specialist in salivary bioscience whose products are standard tools in biobehavioral research and medical diagnostics. The Akira group added the company to its public leak portal on April 21, 2026, stating that corporate data would be uploaded soon. The exfiltrated material is reported to include employee records, patient health information, financial documents, and internal files. The exact number of individuals affected remains unknown at this time.

Patient health information and employee data are among the categories explicitly mentioned by the attackers. Ransomware.live, which tracks such incidents, lists the entry with a direct link to the Akira leak site.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company that handles health-related samples suffers a breach, the consequences reach far beyond its walls. If you or any member of your family have participated in a research study, clinical trial, or diagnostic test that involved saliva or blood samples processed by Salimetrics, your personal and health details may now be in the hands of criminals. Even if you have never heard of the company, the interconnected nature of modern healthcare and research means your information can still surface through shared lab partners or affiliated clinics.

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.

Editorial & sourcing policy

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. We promptly correct or remove material shown to be inaccurate — see our content & takedown policy or write to support@galaxywarden.com.
