Tostrud & Temp, S.C. Listed by pear Ransomware Group

On June 23, 2026, the Wisconsin-based CPA firm Tostrud & Temp, S.C. appeared on the leak site of the pear ransomware group. The firm, which provides full-service accounting to clients in the La Crosse area, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. Client and employee records are among the data now publicly listed for download by anyone who visits the onion site.

Reported Details from Reporting

Public reporting indicates that pear posted Tostrud & Temp data on its leak portal after the firm apparently did not meet the group’s demands. The listing includes internal files that ransomware operators typically steal before encrypting systems. No exact victim count has been released, and the precise volume of records exposed remains unclear. The breach was first noted on ransomware tracking sites that monitor onion leak pages.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or anyone in your household has used Tostrud & Temp for tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, or financial planning, your personal information may now sit in an easily downloadable archive. Tax returns, Social Security numbers, bank routing details, addresses, and phone numbers are the kinds of records accountants keep. Once that information leaves a professional firm’s control, it can reach identity thieves, phishing crews, or people who simply sell it on underground forums. Your family’s financial history is suddenly one click away from strangers.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk

A single breach like this rarely stays isolated. Criminals combine the fresh accounting data with usernames, emails, or phone numbers you have used elsewhere. They build an identity chain that links your real name to gaming accounts, social-media handles, and family members. Credential leaks of this type often cascade into account takeovers, especially for children’s gaming profiles that reuse an email or password from a parent’s tax file. The result can be doxxing, harassment, or financial fraud that stretches across every device in the home.

What to Do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, then use the cleanup to break those connections.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1 billion+ breach records and more than 100 platforms so the next exposure is flagged within hours instead of months.
• Rotate any password you ever used at Tostrud & Temp and enable two-factor authentication through an authenticator app on every account where that password was reused.
• Cover the entire household with DoxxScan family protection, which extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that can be traced back to the same address or parent email.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests for any personal records that surface on data-broker sites linked to this incident.

The pear group’s latest posting is a reminder that even local professional-service firms can become gateways to identity theft. Acting quickly on the credentials and documents already exposed can limit how far the chain reaches. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers continuous monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, hands-on remediation by specialists, and full household coverage that includes children’s gaming accounts. Starting that process now gives you and your family a practical defense against the next wave of misuse.
