ePerformax Listed by Nokoyawa Ransomware Group

On May 13, 2023, business process outsourcing provider ePerformax appeared on the leak site of the nokoyawa ransomware group. The listing states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack on the Memphis-based company, which was founded in 1988 and provides customer contact and engagement services. The exact number of people whose information may have been exposed remains unknown, and the leak-site listing does not detail the specific data types contained in the stolen files.

Details from the Leak Site

The primary disclosure on the nokoyawa leak site states that ePerformax suffered a ransomware intrusion and that attackers successfully exfiltrated internal files. No victim count, ransom amount, or file inventory is provided in the listing. The disclosure indicates the data was taken prior to the May 13 publication date, but does not specify when initial access was gained or how long the attackers remained inside the network. Public copies of the leak page, preserved via ransomware.live, show the standard nokoyawa format used for companies that have not yet met the group's payment demands.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company that handles customer communications and outsourced operations is breached, the information it stores often includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, and details tied to the clients it serves. Even though the exact records allegedly taken from ePerformax are not publicly itemized, any exposure of contact or account information can be used to launch further attacks against you or your family. Internal files exfiltrated in ransomware incidents frequently contain spreadsheets, customer databases, or employee records that link personal details across multiple systems. If your data was among the stolen material, it could surface months or years later in identity fraud, phishing campaigns, or sales on underground markets.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Ransomware leaks like this one rarely stop at the initial publication. Once internal files leave the victim's control, they can be traded, reposted, or combined with other breaches to build detailed profiles. A single email address or phone number allegedly taken from ePerformax can be chained with gaming usernames, social-media handles, or school records to map out an entire household. This is exactly how doxxing campaigns escalate: one exposed customer record leads to credential-stuffing attempts on personal accounts, which then expose children’s gaming profiles that often reuse the same passwords or security questions. The real-world outcome is increased risk of account takeovers, harassment, and financial fraud that can affect every member of the family.

Nokoyawa’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the first known activity by nokoyawa to late 2022. The group has since listed dozens of organizations, focusing primarily on mid-sized companies in the services and manufacturing sectors. Typical nokoyawa playbooks begin with phishing or exploitation of remote-desktop services for initial access, followed by deployment of ransomware and exfiltration of sensitive files. The group’s extortion style combines public leak-site pressure with direct threats to publish or sell the stolen data if payment is not received. While nokoyawa is not among the largest ransomware operations, its steady activity and willingness to follow through on leaks make every new victim listing noteworthy for the individuals whose information may now be circulating.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, handles, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what chains back to the ePerformax breach.
• Rotate any password you used at ePerformax or its client portals anywhere else it is 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 time your information appears it is caught and addressed within hours instead of months.
• Cover the entire household with DoxxScan family protection, which extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often become the next link in doxxing chains after credential leaks like this one.
• Let DoxxScan remediation specialists manage takedown requests for any exposed personal records that surface on data-broker or underground sites.
