Thong Sia Listed by Akira Ransomware Group

On February 17, 2025, Thong Sia Group appeared on the leak site of the Akira ransomware group. The company, a member of the Stelux Group and the sole distributor of Seiko watches and related timepieces across Hong Kong, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and Macau, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. Available reporting describes the exposed material as including financial data such as audits, payment details and reports, as well as passports and other documents belonging to employees and customers, plus contact numbers and email addresses.

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 Akira actors gained access to Thong Sia’s systems and exfiltrated a large volume of sensitive corporate documents. The group has threatened to upload the files unless their demands are met. Exact victim count remains unknown, and the precise number of individuals whose passports, financial records or contact details were taken has not been disclosed. The leak site listing states the data types listed above but does not provide sample files for independent verification at the time of reporting.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company that handles customer purchases, repairs and warranty registrations is breached, the information it stores about ordinary buyers can end up in criminal hands. If you or any member of your family owns a Seiko, Lorus or Alba watch bought in the listed countries, your name, email, phone number or payment details may now be exposed. Once that information leaves a corporate network it rarely stays contained. It can be sold, combined with other leaks, and used to target you with phishing, identity theft or harassment that reaches your home and your children.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

A single breach rarely stops at one company. Criminals routinely link an email address found in a corporate leak to gaming accounts, social-media handles and family addresses. This creates an identity chain that can lead to doxxing, account takeovers and physical threats. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into gaming platforms where children use the same email or password. Public reporting shows that ransomware groups increasingly publish personal documents precisely because the fear of exposure pressures victims to pay.

Unverified claim — what this report is

This page documents a public listing on a ransomware/extortion group’s leak site, tracked via public threat-intelligence sources. A listing is the attacker’s claim. GalaxyWarden aggregates and reports such claims; we have not independently verified that a breach occurred, what data (if any) was taken, or the accuracy of anything the group asserts, and the named organisation has not necessarily confirmed the incident. Sections above describe what the listing shows and the group’s documented history — not verified findings about the named organisation. If you represent this organisation and believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us and we’ll review it promptly.

Editorial & sourcing policy

GalaxyWarden is a breach-monitoring service and news aggregator. We do not exfiltrate, host, purchase, or redistribute stolen data. Breach information is compiled from publicly accessible sources and threat-intelligence platforms, and is reported as claims attributed to their source. We promptly correct or remove material shown to be inaccurate — see our content & takedown policy or write to support@galaxywarden.com.
