Skibiel Law Listed by Pear Ransomware Group

On February 18, 2026, Skibiel Law, a Georgia firm specializing in work injury and personal injury cases, appeared on the leak site of the pear ransomware group. Public reporting indicates the firm’s internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack, though the exact number of people whose personal information was exposed remains unknown.

Reported Details of the Breach

Available reporting describes the incident as a classic ransomware operation: initial access, data theft, and subsequent extortion pressure. The pear ransomware group posted Skibiel Law on its dark-web leak site, listing the company under the category of Georgia Work Injury And Personal Injury Lawyers. No specific volume of records has been disclosed, and the precise data types beyond “internal files” have not been publicly detailed. The listing appeared on the onion address hosted via ransomware.live tracking services.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a law firm that handles injury claims suffers a breach, the information at risk often includes names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, medical records, insurance details, and financial information tied to settlements or claims. If you or anyone in your family has ever used a personal-injury attorney in Georgia, your data could be among the stolen files. Once leaked, this information does not expire; it can be sold, traded, or used years later to open fraudulent accounts, file fake tax returns, or impersonate you in new scams.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk

Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one company. Criminals frequently cross-reference stolen data with information from earlier breaches to build detailed profiles. A phone number from this incident can link to your email, gaming username, or children’s online accounts. Public reporting shows these chains often lead to full doxxing—where attackers publish home addresses, family member names, and photos—followed by harassment or targeted fraud. Credential leaks like this one routinely cascade into account takeovers on gaming platforms, social media, and email, putting both adults and children at risk.

Pear Ransomware Group’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the pear ransomware group with emerging in late 2024. The group has targeted mid-sized businesses across legal, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors. Its typical playbook involves stealthy initial access through phishing or remote-desktop vulnerabilities, followed by claimed exfiltration of sensitive files, encryption of systems, and dual extortion: demanding payment to decrypt data while threatening to publish stolen documents if the ransom is not paid. Notable prior victims include other small-to-medium law firms and service providers whose client records were later posted on the same leak site.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, handles, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what this claimed breach connects to.
• Rotate any password you used at Skibiel Law or similar legal-service sites, then enable two-factor authentication through an authenticator app on every account where that password was reused.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1 billion+ breach records and more than 100 platforms so the next time your information appears it is caught within hours rather than months.
• Cover the entire household with DoxxScan family protection, which includes dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same address or parent email.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and leak sites so you do not have to negotiate directly with threat actors or spend weeks chasing removal notices.

Start your DoxxScan trial today and let its continuous monitoring, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, and hands-on remediation specialists protect you and your family—including any gaming accounts that could become the next link in a doxxing chain.
