avtovelomoto.by Listed by FunkSec Ransomware Group

On February 12, 2025, the Belarusian automotive and motorcycle retailer Avtovelomoto.by appeared on the leak site of the funksec ransomware group. Internal files were allegedly exfiltrated during a ransomware attack, and the company’s data is now publicly listed for anyone to download.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates that funksec posted Avtovelomoto.by on its dark-web leak portal, accessible only via the onion link http://funkxxkovrk7ctnggbjnthdajav4ggex53k6m2x3esjwlxrkb3qiztid.onion/avtovelomoto.by. The retailer, which sells spare parts, motorcycles, bicycles, ATVs, snowmobiles and related accessories, may have had internal documents stolen. The exact number of people whose information appears in the files remains unknown. No specific deadline for payment has been publicly confirmed in available reporting, though ransomware groups routinely set short windows before full data publication.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a retailer like Avtovelomoto.by suffers a breach, the exposed internal files can contain customer records, order histories, contact details, payment information or employee data. If you or anyone in your household has ever bought parts, registered a vehicle, or created an account on the site, your personal information may now sit in an easily downloadable archive. That information does not expire. Criminals can use it months or years later to target you with phishing, identity theft, or more sophisticated attacks. For families this risk multiplies: one parent’s data can expose children’s names, dates of birth or even linked school or activity records that appear in the same customer files.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

A single breach rarely stays isolated. Criminals combine leaked emails, phone numbers, addresses and order details with information from other sources to build complete identity chains. Your username on Avtovelomoto.by might link to the same handle on a gaming platform, a parent-teacher portal or a social-media account. Once those connections are mapped, attackers can impersonate you, reset passwords across services, or publish your family’s private details online. Credential leaks like this one cascade into account takeovers and doxxing chains, which is why protecting gaming accounts — yours or your children’s — matters just as much as securing retail purchase history.

Funksec Group’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the attack to the funksec ransomware group. The group emerged in recent years and has targeted organizations across multiple countries by gaining initial access, exfiltrating sensitive files, and then demanding payment to prevent public release of the data. Their typical playbook involves listing victims on a dedicated leak site hosted on the dark web, applying pressure through countdown timers, and eventually publishing samples or full datasets if ransoms are not paid. Exact prior victim counts and full history remain limited in open sources, but security researchers continue to track funksec’s activity through sites such as ransomware.live.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, then use the cleanup to remove what you can.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure of your data is caught in hours rather than months.
• Rotate any password you used at Avtovelomoto.by everywhere else it appears, and switch to 2FA through an authenticator app instead of SMS.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which often chain back to the same addresses and emails.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and exposed records while you focus on securing your daily accounts.

The incident shows that even mid-sized retailers outside major headlines can expose ordinary families to long-term risk. Acting quickly on the information you control today limits how far attackers can travel down the identity chain tomorrow.
