salcom.com Listed by Lynx Ransomware Group

On January 5, 2026, New Zealand-based radio communications manufacturer Salcom appeared on the leak site of the lynx Ransomware Group. The company, which designs and builds hardware for marine, aeronautical, and terrestrial radio systems, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. While the exact number of people whose information may have been exposed remains unknown, anyone whose personal or business data was stored in Salcom’s internal systems may now be at risk.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates that Salcom’s internal files were taken and later published on the lynx leak site. The company, originally spun out of Tait Communications, has operated for nearly 40 years and maintains connections to three of Tait’s original engineers. Available details confirm the data exposed consists of internal files rather than a structured database of customer records. No precise count of affected individuals has been released, and the precise date of initial compromise has not been publicly disclosed.

The listing on the lynx leak site follows the group’s standard practice of publishing stolen data when victims do not meet extortion demands. Salcom’s website describes its focus on long-range radio communication hardware used in safety-critical environments across sea, air, and land.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company like Salcom suffers a breach, the information inside its internal files can include names, addresses, contact details, contracts, and technical documentation tied to customers or partners. If your family has ever purchased marine radios, aviation communication equipment, or professional two-way radios from Salcom or its distributors, your details could be among the leaked material.
