United Quality Cooperative / www.uqcoop.com Listed by INC Ransom Ransomware Group

On May 15, 2026, the ransomware group IncRansom added United Quality Cooperative to its leak site and stated it had stolen internal corporate correspondence, financial documents, and personal data of company employees. The cooperative, which supplies bulk fuel, propane, lubricants, and agricultural products in its service area, now faces public release of that information in seven days unless it pays the demanded ransom.

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

Available reporting describes the incident as a classic ransomware double-extortion attack. IncRansom claims it exfiltrated files from www.uqcoop.com systems and has posted proof packets containing samples of the stolen material. The group has given the cooperative a one-week deadline, after which it says all stolen information will be published in the public domain. Public reporting indicates the exact number of individuals whose personal data was taken remains unknown, but the material explicitly includes employee records alongside internal business documents.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company you do business with loses employee or customer records, the fallout rarely stops at the corporate perimeter. Your name, address, phone number, or Social Security number may now sit inside files that criminals plan to dump online. Once that happens, the information becomes reusable for identity theft, loan fraud, tax scams, or simple harassment. Personal data of company employees is exactly the kind of material that ends up fueling long-term fraud against you and your family. Even if you never worked at United Quality Cooperative, vendors, customers, and partners listed in the correspondence can also find themselves exposed.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Leaked internal files often contain more than isolated records. They can link email addresses to real names, phone numbers to home addresses, and employee details to vendor lists or customer accounts. Criminals routinely chain these fragments together with data from earlier breaches to build complete profiles. A single exposed work email can lead to your personal accounts, your children’s online profiles, and eventually to physical addresses or family relationships. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into gaming account takeovers, where children’s usernames and passwords are reused across platforms and then sold or published for harassment.

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.
