Voss Enterprises, Divvies Listed by Akira Ransomware Group

On August 28, 2023, the Akira ransomware group listed both Voss Enterprises, a real estate firm, and Divvies, a retail business, on its leak site. The posting states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack and threatens to publish the data this week if the companies do not negotiate. The leak-site listing does not quantify how many people are affected or specify exact data types beyond “internal files.”

Reported Details from the Listing

The Akira leak site entry explicitly names Voss Enterprises and Divvies as victims of a ransomware attack. It states that data was stolen prior to encryption and warns that the files will be released publicly within days. No victim count, no list of exposed record types, and no ransom amount appear in the disclosure. The primary source, hosted on the ransomware.live mirror of the Akira site, presents the companies as having “no hint of a desire to keep their company data safe,” a typical shaming tactic used to pressure payment.

Public reporting on Akira indicates the group deploys double-extortion tactics: encrypting systems while simultaneously exfiltrating documents for later publication if demands are unmet.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When real-estate and retail companies lose control of internal files, the information often includes customer records containing names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, and payment details. If you have ever bought a home through Voss Enterprises, rented from them, or purchased goods from Divvies, your personal information may now sit on a criminal server. Real-world exposure means identity thieves can combine this data with other breaches to build complete profiles. Your family’s mailing address, children’s school schedules, or even Social Security numbers tied to employment or credit applications could surface next.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Stolen internal files frequently contain spreadsheets that link customer identities to usernames, passwords, or account numbers. Once published on a ransomware site, these records are scraped by dozens of other threat actors. A single leaked email and password from this incident can unlock your online banking, email, or social-media accounts. The chain continues: attackers then harvest new credentials, dox family members, and target children’s gaming accounts that reuse the same passwords or recovery emails. What begins as a corporate breach quickly becomes personal doxxing that follows you and your household for years.

Akira’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the emergence of Akira to early 2023. The group has since hit dozens of organizations across North America, Europe, and Australia. Notable prior victims include manufacturing firms, healthcare providers, and professional-services companies. Akira typically gains initial access through compromised remote-desktop credentials or exploited vulnerabilities in unpatched VPN appliances. After exfiltration, the group encrypts Windows and Linux systems with its custom ransomware payload and posts samples on its leak site if the victim refuses to pay. The group’s playbook emphasizes speed: data is stolen, systems locked, and negotiation pressure applied within days.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, then use the cleanup of Warden to remove what you can.
• Rotate any password you ever used at Voss Enterprises or Divvies and enable 2FA through an authenticator app everywhere that password was reused.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak exposing you is caught in hours rather than months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same address or recovery email.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and extortion sites on your behalf while you focus on securing daily life.
