Selartex Listed by DragonForce Ransomware Group

On August 23, 2025, French home textiles wholesaler Selartex appeared on the leak site of the dragonforce ransomware group, with the attackers claiming to have exfiltrated internal files during a ransomware incident.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates that Selartex, a company with more than 35 years in business supplying bed linen, table linen, bath linen and decorative textiles to professionals, had data taken in the attack. The dragonforce leak site lists the company and states that internal files were exfiltrated. No confirmed total of affected individuals has been released, and the precise volume or specific categories of data remain unclear from available reporting. The listing appeared on the group’s onion site, which is tracked by ransomware monitoring services such as ransomware.live.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a supplier like Selartex suffers a breach, the information stolen can include documents that contain names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, order histories or payment details of customers and business partners. If your family has ever bought home goods through a retailer that sources from Selartex, or if you run a small business that deals with them, your information could be among the records now in attackers’ hands. Once stolen data surfaces on a ransomware leak site, it rarely stays private. It can be sold, reposted or used as the starting point for identity theft, phishing campaigns or harassment directed at you or your children.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Ransomware groups rarely stop at one dataset. A single leaked email or phone number from a supplier breach can be combined with information from earlier breaches to build a complete picture of your household. Attackers chain these fragments—linking an old order address to a username on a shopping site, then to a child’s gaming account that uses the same email. This identity chain turns a seemingly minor supplier breach into a roadmap for doxxing, account takeovers or targeted scams. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into gaming account compromises because children often reuse passwords or security questions tied to family information.

Dragonforce’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the dragonforce ransomware group with emerging in late 2023 or early 2024. The group has claimed responsibility for attacks on organizations across multiple countries and sectors, typically gaining initial access through phishing, remote desktop protocol weaknesses or stolen credentials. After exfiltrating data, dragonforce follows a double-extortion playbook: they encrypt victim systems and threaten to publish stolen files unless a ransom is paid by their deadline. Notable prior victims include companies in manufacturing, retail and professional services, though exact details vary across public trackers.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers and real identity so you can see exactly what chains back to the Selartex breach.
• Rotate any password you used at Selartex or with retailers that work with them, then enable 2FA through an authenticator app on every account where that password was reused.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak exposing you or your family is caught in hours rather than months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which often become the next link in doxxing chains after credential leaks like this one.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and exposed records while you focus on securing your own accounts.
