Sintac Recycling Listed by Qilin Ransomware Group

If you are a customer of Sintac Recycling, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

Sintac Recycling was listed on the qilin ransomware leak site. The group claims to have stolen internal data.
— from Qilin’s own leak-site posting. This is the group’s claim, quoted verbatim; it is not GalaxyWarden’s reporting and has not been independently verified.

Sintac Recycling Listed by Qilin Ransomware Group

On December 29, 2025, Sintac Recycling appeared on the leak site operated by the qilin ransomware group, which claims to have exfiltrated internal company files during a ransomware attack. Anyone whose personal information was stored in those files — customers, employees, vendors, or their family members — may now face heightened risk of identity theft, phishing, and doxxing.

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 from Reports

Public reporting indicates that qilin listed Sintac Recycling on its data-leak portal and stated that internal data had been stolen. The exact volume of records and the specific types of information remain unconfirmed by the company. Available reporting describes the incident as a ransomware attack followed by data exfiltration, a pattern consistent with qilin’s publicly documented operations. No independent verification of the group’s claims has been published as of this writing.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company that handles your name, address, phone number, email, payment details, or employment records suffers a breach, that information can surface in criminal marketplaces within days. Employees and customers of Sintac Recycling now need to assume their data is at risk even if the precise contents have not been disclosed. For families this means every linked account — from email to online shopping to children’s school portals — can become an entry point for further compromise. A single exposed phone number or email can trigger a wave of targeted scams aimed at draining bank accounts or stealing tax refunds.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk

Ransomware groups rarely stop at one dataset. Once initial records appear, attackers and opportunistic criminals map connections between your work email, personal phone, family addresses, and online usernames. These identity chains allow them to locate social-media profiles, gaming accounts, and even children’s handles. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into account takeovers because the same password used at a recycling company may also protect your email or your child’s Roblox or Fortnite account. The result is doxxing that can expose home addresses, family photos, and daily routines to harassment or fraud.

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.
