Interstate Roofing Listed by akira Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
Interstate Roofing was listed by the Akira ransomware group on May 29, 2026, after internal files were exfiltrated in a ransomware attack. An undisclosed number of people may have been affected; anyone who has shared data with the company should check for signs of compromise and take appropriate steps.
Inside the incident
The only confirmed public information is the listing itself. Interstate Roofing has not issued a statement detailing how access was obtained, the volume of data taken, or whether encryption occurred alongside exfiltration. No timeline for the intrusion or evidence of prior contact with the group has been disclosed.
Who is akira?
Akira is a ransomware operation that first appeared in early 2023. The group typically gains initial access through phishing, compromised remote-access tools, or unpatched systems, then moves laterally inside networks. Its standard approach involves both encrypting systems and copying files, after which it lists victims on a leak site and threatens to publish the material unless a ransom is paid. The group has targeted organizations across multiple sectors in North America and Europe.
About Interstate Roofing
Interstate Roofing has operated since 1988 and is described as one of the larger exterior-improvement contractors in the Northwest United States. Companies of this type routinely maintain records on residential and commercial customers, including contract details, project specifications, payment information, and employee documentation required for licensing and insurance.
What was likely exposed
The listing states that internal files were taken. The group claims these files contain employee personal documents such as scanned passports and driver’s licenses, approximately 60 Social Security numbers, contracts, client information, and project records. The exact contents, completeness, or sensitivity of any files have not been independently verified, and the company has not confirmed or denied the claims.
Why it matters
Personal documents and identification numbers can be used to open accounts or file fraudulent claims in an individual’s name. Client and contract data could reveal details about property improvements or business relationships that might be exploited for social-engineering attacks. For the organization, the incident adds operational disruption and potential regulatory scrutiny even if the data are never published.
If your data was in this claimed breach

Publicly posted by akira — 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.
