On May 16, 2025, Singapore-based Straits Construction appeared on the leak site of the qilin ransomware group after the attackers exfiltrated internal company files during a ransomware incident. The construction firm, which has helped shape Singapore’s built environment for more than 50 years, joins a growing list of organizations whose sensitive internal data has been publicly listed following ransomware activity.
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.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates that qilin posted a listing for Straits Construction on its leak portal, claiming to have stolen internal files. The exact volume of data and the number of people whose information may be exposed remain unclear. Available reporting describes the exposed material as internal company documents rather than a customer database or payment records. No evidence has surfaced that customer personal data was the primary target, yet any internal files can contain employee details, vendor contracts, project plans, or correspondence that indirectly reveal personal information.
May 16, 2025 marks the date the listing appeared. The company’s current projects at the time of the incident included Tengah Plantation EC Plot A, The Continuum, Terra Hill, and Ki Residences. Ransomware.live has mirrored the qilin leak site entry, making the claim visible beyond the dark web.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a construction company that works on large residential developments suffers a breach, the ripple effects can reach ordinary families. Employee records, subcontractor lists, or resident correspondence tied to those projects may contain home addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, or identification numbers. Once such data leaves the company’s control, it can be sold, posted, or used to launch further attacks against anyone named in the files.
