Urban Import Listed by cryptnet Ransomware Group

If you are a customer of Urban Import, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

Urban Import was established in 2001 by fellow automotive enthusiasts to provide customers with an unrivaled selection of top quality aftermarket automotive parts. After cementing our presence as an eBay Power Seller, we launched our first online retail site carrying some of the top performance brands of the time. As the aftermarket performance industry began to boom, Urban Import focused on expanding its lineup by securing exclusive distributorship of the D2 Racing brand in North America....
— from Cryptnet’s own leak-site posting. This is the group’s claim, quoted verbatim; it is not GalaxyWarden’s reporting and has not been independently verified.

Urban Import Listed by cryptnet Ransomware Group

Urban Import was listed on the cryptnet ransomware leak site on April 19, 2023, claiming that the California-based aftermarket automotive parts retailer suffered a ransomware attack in which internal files were exfiltrated. The company, founded in 2001 and known for its eBay Power Seller status and exclusive North American distributorship of the D2 Racing brand, has not publicly quantified how many customers or employees may be affected.

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 582 companies.

Primary Disclosure Details

The cryptnet leak-site listing states that Urban Import was hit by a ransomware attack and that attackers successfully exfiltrated internal files. The disclosure does not specify the volume of data taken, the exact date of the intrusion, or the categories of records involved. It simply states the company as a victim and displays samples of the allegedly stolen material. The notification does not detail any ransom demand or negotiation status, which is typical for many cryptnet postings that serve primarily as extortion pressure.

April 19, 2023 marks the first public appearance of Urban Import on the cryptnet leak site, according to the primary source hosted via ransomware.live.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a retailer like Urban Import loses control of internal files, the information often includes customer orders, payment details, shipping addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers. Even without an exact count of affected records, anyone who has purchased performance parts, suspension components, or D2 Racing products from the company over the past two decades could have personal data now in attackers’ hands. For families, this exposure can cascade beyond one individual: a shared family email, a spouse’s credit card used for a joint purchase, or a teenager’s information tied to a household account all become part of the same incident.

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.
