On May 21, 2024, ThrottleUp appeared on the RansomHub ransomware group's leak site with 65GB of allegedly stolen internal files. The listing, hosted on the group's Tor portal, remains unpublished as of the latest check, meaning the data has not yet been made freely available for download. Anyone whose personal or financial information passed through ThrottleUp's systems could be affected, even though the exact number of impacted individuals has not been disclosed.

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.

Details from the RansomHub Listing
The RansomHub leak site entry states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack on ThrottleUp. It records 24 visits to the victim page and a total data size of 65GB. The disclosure does not specify what categories of information were taken, nor does it list any sample documents. The entry marks the data as not yet published, which typically means the group is still waiting for the victim to negotiate or pay before releasing the archive. No ransom demand figure or payment deadline appears in the public listing.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a company that handles customer records, vendor contracts, or payment details suffers a ransomware breach, the information stolen can end up in the hands of criminals who specialize in identity theft and fraud. Even if ThrottleUp has not yet confirmed the breach through a public notification, the presence of its name on an active ransomware site signals that your data may already be at risk. Families who used ThrottleUp's services could face unexpected charges, loan applications in their names, or phishing campaigns crafted from the stolen internal files. Children’s information, if included in employee or customer records, can be particularly damaging because it often stays clean longer and can be used to build synthetic identities.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks
Ransomware groups rarely stop at simple data theft. Once internal files leave the victim’s network, they frequently surface in underground markets where other criminals link email addresses, phone numbers, and employee details to personal accounts across the internet. A single leaked work document can expose your home address, spouse’s name, or children’s dates of birth. These fragments then chain together: a gaming username tied to a parent’s email, a reused password from a customer portal, or a scanned driver’s license stored in a vendor file. The result is a detailed profile that makes targeted doxxing, SIM-swapping, or account takeover far easier. Credential leaks like this one routinely cascade into gaming account takeovers for both adults and children, exposing chat logs, purchase history, and linked payment methods.
