SheelaFoam Listed by ALPHV Ransomware Group

On November 14, 2023, Indian polyurethane foam manufacturer Sheela Group appeared on the leak site of the Alphv ransomware group. The listing states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack on the company, which operates the well-known Sleepwell, Feather Foam, and Lamiflex brands. The number of records affected remains unknown, and the leak-site listing does not detail the specific data types beyond claiming that internal files were taken.

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 Alphv leak page explicitly names Sheela Group and claims successful data exfiltration following a ransomware deployment. No victim count, no sample files, and no ransom amount appear in the public listing. The disclosure indicates the incident occurred prior to the November 14 publication date, but the exact breach timeline is not stated. Public mirrors of the Alphv site, such as those tracked by ransomware.live, preserve this entry as the primary public record of the incident.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a manufacturer like Sheela Group suffers a breach, the internal files taken can easily contain supplier contracts, employee records, customer invoices, or distributor contact lists. If your name, address, phone number, or email appears in any of those documents, your information may now be in the hands of criminals. Internal files exfiltrated often include spreadsheets that link personal details to financial or employment data, creating immediate risks of identity theft, phishing, or targeted scams against you and your household.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk

Stolen internal files frequently expose more than one piece of information about a person. A single leaked spreadsheet can connect your work email to a personal mobile number and home address. Attackers then chain these fragments across future breaches, building a complete profile that leads to account takeovers, SIM swapping, or full identity theft. Credential leaks of this nature also cascade into gaming accounts belonging to you or your children, where the same reused passwords grant entry to platforms that store additional personal and payment data.

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.
