On April 12, 2026, German tax consulting firm Straten & Kollegen GmbH appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group Incransom. The firm, based in Nordhorn and serving private individuals, businesses, and Dutch companies operating in Germany, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. While the exact number of affected clients remains unknown, anyone whose tax records, financial details, or personal correspondence were held by the firm may now face heightened risk of identity theft and doxxing.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates that Incransom successfully exfiltrated internal files from Straten & Kollegen before encrypting systems or demanding ransom. The data was published on the group's leak site on April 12, 2026. The firm specializes in tax advisory for individuals, agricultural bookkeeping, registered associations, and cross-border support for Dutch companies entering the German market. No confirmed client count or specific data samples have been publicly detailed beyond the broad description of internal files.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
If you or your family have used Straten & Kollegen for tax returns, business filings, agricultural accounts, or cross-border advice, your personal information could be in the exposed material. Tax records typically contain full names, addresses, dates of birth, tax IDs, bank details, income figures, and correspondence — exactly the building blocks criminals need to file fraudulent returns, open accounts in your name, or impersonate you with banks and government agencies. For families, a single breach like this can ripple outward: one parent's compromised tax file can expose children's records when they are listed as dependents.
Ordinary people rarely discover these leaks quickly. By the time you notice unusual activity on your credit report or receive a surprise tax bill, the information may already be circulating in criminal marketplaces.
