Broadleaf Listed by quantum Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
The Broadleaf Listed by quantum Ransomware Group (reported April 11, 2022) is an unverified claim; the data involved is undisclosed belonging to roughly unknown people. If you have an account with them, your information may now be circulating on the open web and with data brokers. Here’s exactly what happened, how to check if you were affected, and what to do next.
What happened
The listing appeared on April 11, 2022. The group claims that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack against Broadleaf. No further technical details, such as the method of initial access or the volume of data, have been publicly confirmed. The number of people affected is reported as unknown.
Who is quantum?
Quantum is a ransomware group that has conducted operations against organizations in multiple sectors. The group is known for using double-extortion tactics, in which systems are encrypted and data is removed before a ransom demand is issued. The listing of Broadleaf on the group’s leak site constitutes a claim by the actor; independent confirmation of the incident has not been reported.
About Broadleaf
Broadleaf is a family-owned food distribution company that supplies meat and specialty foods to distributors and retailers. Organizations in this sector routinely maintain records related to supply chains, customer accounts, financial transactions, and operational logistics. A breach at such a company can affect downstream businesses that rely on timely and secure distribution of perishable goods.
What was likely exposed
The available information states that internal files were exfiltrated. Specific categories of data have not been disclosed. Companies of this type commonly store commercial records, supplier and customer contact information, and internal communications; however, the exact contents of the exfiltrated files remain unconfirmed.
Why it matters
Exposure of internal operational files can create competitive or supply-chain risks for the affected organization and its partners. Where personal or account-related information is present, individuals may face increased chances of targeted phishing or account misuse. The absence of confirmed data types means the scope of personal impact cannot be assessed from public sources alone.
If your data was in this claimed breach
Review any accounts associated with Broadleaf or its partners for unusual activity and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Monitor credit reports and financial statements for signs of misuse. Readers can run a free exposure scan of their email address against known breach data to check for appearances in previously published datasets.

Publicly posted by quantum — unverified claim, pending independent verification
Breach listings — particularly those originating from ransomware or leak sites — are third-party claims that may be unverified, incomplete, or inaccurate. A listing does not by itself confirm that a breach occurred or that any specific data was exposed. Severity is an automated assessment, not a definitive rating. Verification status is shown where available.
Attributions to threat groups and methods reflect public reporting and, in some cases, unverified claims made by the groups themselves; they may be incomplete or later revised.
