On October 24, 2023, the Canadian retailer Bentley & Co LTD (operating shopbentley.com) appeared on the leak site of the Black Basta ransomware group. The listing claims that 1.5 terabytes of internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. The company, based at 6125 Chemin De La Côte-de-Liesse in St. Laurent, Quebec, has not yet published a formal customer notification detailing the exact records involved.

Reported Details from the Listing
The Black Basta leak page states that data labeled “Accounting,” “AcctPay,” and “Finan” was taken. It does not specify the number of customers or employees affected, nor does it list particular data fields such as names, addresses, payment card numbers, or Social Insurance Numbers. The disclosure indicates the files came from a ransomware deployment and that the victim has not yet met the group’s demands. Public mirrors of the leak site, including ransomware.live, preserve the original posting with the company’s physical address and a brief corporate history that dates back to 1987 in Newfoundland.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a retailer’s internal accounting and financial files are stolen, the exposure often reaches beyond the company itself. If you have ever placed an order with shopbentley.com, your name, shipping address, email, and possibly payment details may sit inside those 1.5 TB of records. Even when exact record counts remain unknown, the risk of identity theft and financial fraud is real. Criminals can combine this information with data from other breaches to build profiles that lead to unauthorized loans, tax fraud, or targeted phishing campaigns aimed at you or members of your household.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks
Accounting spreadsheets and accounts-payable records frequently contain not only customer data but also employee details, vendor contacts, and internal email correspondence. Once published on a ransomware leak site, this material becomes searchable on dark-web forums. Attackers can link an email address found in one file to usernames on shopping sites, loyalty programs, or even children’s gaming accounts. These connections create long-term doxxing chains that expose home addresses, phone numbers, and family relationships. Credential leaks of this nature often cascade into account takeovers months or years later because many people reuse the same passwords across personal and family services.
