stonehillcontracting.com Listed by abyss Ransomware Group

On March 21, 2023, Stone Hill Contracting, Inc. appeared on the leak site operated by the abyss Ransomware Group, with the attackers claiming to have exfiltrated 176Gb of uncompressed internal files from the construction company’s network.

Details in the Leak Listing

The primary disclosure on the abyss leak site states that Stone Hill Contracting suffered a ransomware incident in which internal files were taken before encryption occurred. The listing does not quantify the number of individuals whose information may be inside the archive, nor does it list specific document types beyond the broad description of internal files. Public mirrors of the leak page, such as ransomware.live, state the March 21, 2023 publication date and the claimed volume of 176Gb. No ransom demand figure or negotiation status appears in the public listing.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a construction firm’s internal files leave its control, any documents containing customer records, vendor contracts, employee payroll, or insurance forms can expose ordinary people like you. Even if you never directly hired Stone Hill Contracting, your name, address, Social Security number, or banking details may have been shared with them during routine business. Once that information sits in an attacker-controlled archive, it becomes reusable for identity theft, loan fraud, or targeted phishing years later. Families are affected because household addresses and children’s names frequently appear in contractor paperwork, school forms, or joint insurance files.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Exfiltrated internal files often contain spreadsheets that link names to phone numbers, emails, physical addresses, and sometimes dates of birth. Attackers and subsequent buyers can combine these fragments with other leaks to build persistent identity chains. A single contractor breach can therefore cascade into doxxing that reveals your home address, family members’ names, and even children’s online gaming handles if those appear in family-related documents. Credential material or reused passwords found inside the files can lead directly to account takeovers on personal email, banking, or gaming platforms.

Abyss Ransomware Group Track Record

Public reporting attributes the emergence of abyss to late 2022. The group has focused primarily on small and mid-sized businesses across North America and Europe, with a playbook that emphasizes initial access through phishing or exploited remote desktop services, followed by exfiltration of sensitive files before deploying ransomware. Their extortion style relies on public leak-site pressure rather than prolonged negotiation, often publishing samples quickly when victims do not pay. Notable prior victims listed in open sources include other regional contractors and service firms, though exact patterns remain under active tracking by threat-intelligence teams.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, with cleanup handled by the service.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure surfaces in hours rather than months.
• Rotate any password you ever used at stonehillcontracting.com or related vendor portals, then enable 2FA through an authenticator app everywhere that credential was reused.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which frequently become targets when contractor data leaks create doxxing chains.
• Let remediation specialists manage data-broker takedown requests and follow-up monitoring for you instead of attempting manual removal across dozens of sites.

The incident underscores that construction-industry data leaks continue to surface months or years after the initial compromise, quietly expanding the pool of victims who must now defend their identities. Starting proactive steps today limits how far attackers can travel down the identity chain created by this and future breaches. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers continuous monitoring across 13.1 billion+ breach records and more than 100 platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, hands-on remediation by specialists, and full household coverage that includes children’s gaming accounts vulnerable to credential-stuffing attacks that often follow leaks like this one.
