Costa Solutions, LLC Listed by aurora Ransomware Group

On April 29, 2026, the ransomware group Aurora added Costa Solutions, LLC to its leak site after the Texas-based warehousing and managed-labor company refused to pay an extortion demand. The attackers claim to have taken more than 3,000–8,000 individuals’ personal records, including SSNs from W-2s, W-4s, 1099s, I-9s and background checks, plus bank account and routing numbers from over 200 direct-deposit forms.

Reported Details of the Breach

Public reporting indicates that Costa Solutions, a privately held firm headquartered in San Antonio with roughly $140 million in annual revenue and between 200 and 1,000 employees, had its internal file server compromised. The exposed material includes operational, financial, legal, and human-resources documents spanning 12 years. Current and former employees, independent contractors, employee dependents, and job applicants are all affected. Available reporting describes the data set as containing medical and injury records in addition to the tax and banking information already noted. No exact victim count has been independently verified, but the range published by the attackers is 3,000–8,000 individuals.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or anyone in your household ever worked at Costa Solutions, applied for a job there, or were listed as a dependent on an employee’s paperwork, your Social Security number, bank details, and medical information may now be in criminal hands. That combination lets thieves open accounts, file fraudulent tax returns, or impersonate you with government agencies. Children listed as dependents are especially exposed because their SSNs often sit unused for years, making them attractive targets for synthetic-identity fraud that can follow them into adulthood. Even if you left the company years ago, the 12-year span of records means your data is still at risk.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk

A single breach rarely stops at the original leak. Criminals combine the fresh Costa Solutions data with information already circulating on underground forums. They link your work email to personal accounts, map old phone numbers to current addresses, and trace gaming usernames that share the same password or recovery address. Once these chains form, attackers can move from identity theft to full doxxing—publishing your family’s home address, children’s names, and daily routines. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into account takeovers on gaming platforms, where children’s profiles become entry points for further extortion.

Aurora Ransomware Group’s Track Record

Public reporting attributes the attack to the Aurora ransomware group. The group emerged in late 2024 and has since listed dozens of mid-sized U.S. companies on its leak site. Notable prior victims include other regional logistics and service firms. Their typical playbook begins with initial access through phishing or compromised remote-desktop credentials, followed by exfiltration of sensitive files before encryption. If the target refuses payment, Aurora publishes samples and offers the full archive for sale or free download after a deadline, aiming to maximize pressure through reputational damage and secondary extortion of the individuals whose data appears in the dump.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, usernames, and real identity so you can see exactly what chains back to the Costa Solutions breach.
• Rotate any password you used at Costa Solutions anywhere else it appears, then switch on 2FA through an authenticator app rather than text messages.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next time your information surfaces you learn within hours instead of months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that includes dependents and your children’s gaming accounts, which often become the weakest link in these identity chains.
• Let DoxxScan remediation specialists handle the takedown requests across data brokers and leak sites on your behalf while you focus on securing your own accounts.
