spring-green.com/petbutler.com Listed by safepay Ransomware Group

On May 5, 2025, the ransomware group Safepay added spring-green.com and petbutler.com to its public leak site, claiming that it had exfiltrated internal files from Spring-Green Lawn Care Corp., the parent company of both services.

What Public Reporting Shows

Available reporting describes the incident as a ransomware attack in which Safepay claims to have stolen internal company files. The two brands operate under the same corporate umbrella: Spring-Green provides lawn care for residential and commercial properties and has done so since 1977, while PetButler specializes in professional pet waste removal for homeowners and community associations. Public reporting indicates that the number of individuals whose personal data may be contained in the stolen files remains unknown. The leak site listing itself serves as the primary confirmation, hosted on an onion address tracked by ransomware.live.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a local service provider that handles your lawn, your pet waste, or both suffers a breach, the exposed files can easily contain names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and payment details tied directly to your household. Internal files exfiltrated in ransomware incidents frequently include customer databases, service contracts, and billing records. If your information appears in that material, it can surface on dark-web marketplaces within weeks. For families, this means both parents and children can be placed at higher risk because addresses and phone numbers are often shared across accounts. A single leak like this one can quietly feed the next wave of phishing texts, spoofed calls, or identity-theft attempts months later.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one company. Once customer records leave a corporate network, they are aggregated with other breaches to build detailed identity chains. An email address tied to your PetButler account can be matched to your Spring-Green profile, then linked to social-media handles, children’s gaming usernames, or school-related logins. These chains allow attackers to move from simple data sales to full doxxing: publishing home addresses, mapping family relationships, and targeting children’s online accounts. Credential leaks of this nature frequently cascade into account takeovers precisely because the same password or password pattern appears across personal and household services. Gaming accounts belonging to children are especially vulnerable because they often reuse email addresses or phone numbers that also appear in family service records.

Safepay’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes Safepay with emerging in late 2024 as a ransomware operation that combines double-extortion tactics with selective data leaks. The group’s typical playbook begins with initial access through phishing or exploited remote desktop services, followed by exfiltration of sensitive files before encryption. It then demands payment and, if unpaid, publishes samples or full datasets on its leak site. Notable prior victims have included mid-sized service and manufacturing companies, though exact details remain limited in open sources. The group continues to list new victims on a regular schedule, using the threat of permanent public exposure as its primary leverage.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, with cleanup handled by specialists.
• Rotate the password used at spring-green.com or petbutler.com anywhere it is reused, and switch on 2FA through an authenticator app rather than text messages.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak exposing your family is caught in hours, not months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that chain back to the same address or contact details.
• Let remediation specialists perform hands-on takedown requests across data brokers and leak repositories on your behalf.
