www.pacmaritime.com Listed by Onyx Ransomware Group

Pacific Maritime Group at www.pacmaritime.com appeared on the Onyx ransomware leak site on November 21, 2022. The listing states that the maritime services company suffered a ransomware attack in which internal files were exfiltrated. The Onyx group claims to possess data taken from the victim’s systems, though the exact volume and specific types of records remain undisclosed in the public listing.

Primary Disclosure Details

The Onyx leak site entry for pacmaritime.com states that the company was listed following a ransomware incident. It states that internal files were stolen during the attack. The disclosure does not quantify the number of affected records, name the precise systems compromised, or list the categories of data involved beyond the general description of internal files. No ransom amount or negotiation details are published on the site. The listing serves as the primary public notification of the breach, with no separate company statement or regulatory filing referenced in the original posting.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company like Pacific Maritime stores information related to customers, vendors, or business partners, that data can include names, addresses, contact details, financial records, or contract information tied to ordinary individuals and families. Even without an exact count of affected people, the exposure of internal files means anyone whose information passed through the company now faces heightened risk of identity theft or fraud. Internal files exfiltrated in ransomware attacks frequently contain spreadsheets, emails, or scanned documents that reveal personal details you assumed were protected behind corporate firewalls.

If your employer, shipping partner, or service provider worked with Pacific Maritime, your information could be among the stolen material. The uncertainty itself creates practical problems: you cannot easily determine whether your data is exposed without ongoing checks across multiple platforms.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Stolen internal files often contain more than isolated records. They can link email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, and account details in ways that allow attackers or opportunistic criminals to build complete identity profiles. Once one piece of information surfaces on dark-web markets or forums, it can be combined with data from other breaches to create doxxing chains that expose family members, including children. Credential leaks tied to corporate systems frequently cascade into personal account takeovers, especially when the same passwords are reused at home or on gaming platforms.

These chains are particularly dangerous because they move faster than most people realize. A seemingly minor business contact record can lead to targeted phishing, SIM-swapping attempts, or harassment that reaches your household.

Onyx Ransomware Group Track Record

Public reporting attributes the Onyx ransomware group with operations that emerged in 2022. The group is known for double-extortion tactics: encrypting victim systems while simultaneously exfiltrating data to pressure payment through public leaks. Notable prior victims listed on their site have included organizations across logistics, manufacturing, and professional services sectors. Their typical playbook involves initial access through compromised credentials or vulnerable remote desktop services, followed by lateral movement to locate valuable internal files. After exfiltration, Onyx posts samples and deadlines on their leak site, threatening full data release if demands are not met. The group’s listings consistently emphasize the sensitivity of stolen corporate documents rather than consumer payment card data.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your email addresses, phone numbers, usernames, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what this claimed breach connects to.
• Rotate any password you used at Pacific Maritime or related business accounts anywhere it has been reused, and switch to 2FA through an authenticator app rather than SMS.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure of your information is caught in hours instead of months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which often become targets when corporate credential leaks create doxxing chains.
• Let DoxxScan remediation specialists manage takedown requests for any exposed personal documents or broker listings that surface from this incident.
