Title Guaranty Listed by Sinobi Ransomware Group

Title Guaranty was listed on Sinobi's leak site. Sinobi claims to have stolen internal data. This is the group's claim, not a confirmed finding.

Title Guaranty Listed by Sinobi Ransomware Group

On January 18, 2026, Title Guaranty Company of Lewis County appeared on the leak site of the sinobi ransomware group. The locally owned title and escrow firm based in Chehalis, Washington, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated after a ransomware attack. Customers who used the company for real estate closings, refinancing, or title searches across the state may have personal and financial records now exposed.

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 sinobi listed Title Guaranty on its dark-web leak portal, claiming to have stolen internal documents. The company provides title insurance, escrow services, and real estate settlement support to realtors, homebuyers, lenders, builders, and commercial clients throughout Washington. Available reporting describes the data as internal files; exact volume and full list of exposed record types remain unconfirmed by the company. No customer count has been publicly released.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a title company is breached, the information at risk often includes names, addresses, Social Security numbers, bank details, loan documents, and closing statements. These records contain everything needed to open new accounts, file fraudulent tax returns, or impersonate you during future home purchases. If you or your family bought or sold property in Washington in recent years and used Title Guaranty, your data could already be in attackers’ hands. Families planning moves, refinancing, or helping adult children buy first homes face heightened exposure because real estate transactions tie identities to physical addresses and financial histories.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Stolen escrow files frequently link email addresses, phone numbers, and property deeds to real people. Attackers can combine this information with other breaches to build detailed profiles. A single credential leak from this incident can cascade into gaming account takeovers, especially for children whose parent accounts share the same email or phone. Once attackers control a gaming profile tied to a home address, they can launch targeted doxxing, harassment, or further extortion. Credential leaks like this one create long-term chains that connect your professional life, family addresses, and children’s online activities.

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.
