lifting.com Listed by Cactus Ransomware Group

On February 25, 2025, industrial lifting company Bishop Lifting appeared on the leak site of the cactus Ransomware Group, with attackers claiming to have exfiltrated internal files from the Houston-based firm.

Reported Details of the Incident

Public reporting indicates the company, which specializes in lifting equipment and rigging solutions, was listed on the cactus leak site hosted on the dark web. The post includes Bishop Lifting’s address at 2301 Commerce St 110, Houston, Texas, phone number (713) 512-1700, and revenue figure of $135.8 million. A download link was provided for the allegedly stolen data, though the precise volume and full list of exposed records remain unconfirmed by independent verification. Available reporting describes the incident as a ransomware attack that led to both encryption of systems and subsequent data exfiltration.

Internal files were taken, though the exact nature of the documents has not been publicly detailed beyond the attackers’ claims. No confirmed victim count has been released, leaving customers, vendors, and employees uncertain about whether their personal or business information sits inside the leaked archive.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company like Bishop Lifting suffers a breach, the information it holds rarely stays isolated. Vendors, contractors, and everyday customers often entrust the business with names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, and payment details. If those records were inside the exfiltrated files, your personal data could now be circulating among criminals who buy, sell, and weaponize it. For families, this risk extends beyond one individual: a single exposed email or phone number can unlock linked accounts belonging to a spouse or teenager.
