Data exposed Internal files exfiltrated in ransomware attack

On February 23, 2026, the LockBit ransomware group added yaomazi.com to its public leak site, confirming that internal files belonging to Yaomazi Food Co. LTD had been exfiltrated. The company, based in Hongya, Sichuan — known as the hometown of Chinese green pepper — joins the growing list of organizations whose data is now openly advertised for sale or further exposure by the extortion-focused gang.

Confirmed Facts from Reporting

Public reporting indicates the incident stems from a ransomware attack in which LockBit claims to have stolen internal company files. The exact number of people whose personal information was exposed remains unknown. Available details list only that the data consists of internal files rather than a specific database of customer records. The leak site posting carries the typical LockBit branding and countdown clock, a standard part of the group’s playbook. No independent verification of the stolen data volume has been published beyond the group’s own statements.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a food company’s internal files appear on a ransomware leak site, the information inside can easily include supplier lists, employee payroll records, customer orders, or correspondence that contain names, addresses, phone numbers, and email accounts. Once published, that data does not disappear. It circulates on underground forums, gets bundled into larger datasets, and eventually lands in the hands of identity thieves, stalkers, or scammers who target ordinary families. If you or anyone in your household has ever ordered from a specialty food supplier, worked with a regional manufacturer, or had your details stored by a small or mid-sized company, this type of breach can quietly add your information to lists that criminals actively trade.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Stolen internal files frequently contain more than one piece of information about a person. An email address paired with a phone number, a delivery address, or an employee ID can be chained together with data from previous breaches. Attackers use these links to locate social-media accounts, gaming usernames, and family relationships. The result is doxxing: your home address, children’s names, or online handles suddenly become public. Credential leaks of this nature often cascade into account takeovers on gaming platforms, email, and shopping sites. Public reporting shows that ransomware leaks regularly feed long-term identity exploitation chains that can affect every member of a household for years.

LockBit’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the LockBit ransomware operation to a group that first appeared in 2019. It has since targeted thousands of organizations worldwide, including hospitals, manufacturers, schools, and local governments. Notable prior victims include Boeing, Accenture, and numerous smaller companies whose data was published after ransom demands went unpaid. The group’s typical playbook involves initial access through compromised credentials or remote desktop vulnerabilities, followed by exfiltration of sensitive files, encryption of systems, and then public extortion on its leak site with countdown timers. LockBit operates as a ransomware-as-a-service platform, allowing other criminals to use its tools while the core team takes a cut of the profits.

What to do

  • Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, addresses, and online handles that may have surfaced in this or earlier incidents.
  • Rotate any password you used at yaomazi.com or similar suppliers anywhere it has been reused, and switch on two-factor authentication through an authenticator app rather than SMS.
  • Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 15.4B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak that touches your family is caught and addressed in hours instead of months.
  • Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and your children’s gaming accounts, which often become entry points for doxxing chains when credential leaks occur.
  • Let remediation specialists handle the time-consuming work of sending takedown requests to data brokers and monitoring platforms where your information has already spread.

The pace of ransomware leaks shows no sign of slowing, which means ordinary families must treat every new posting as a potential direct threat to their personal information. Starting with a clear picture of what data is already exposed gives you the best chance of stopping identity theft or harassment before it begins. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers that visibility through continuous monitoring across 15.4 billion breach records and more than 100 platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping that connects scattered online handles to real identities, hands-on remediation by specialists, and full household coverage that includes children’s gaming accounts vulnerable to credential-based takeovers.
