PM Plastics, Reliable Van & Storage, Landis, Whitinger Strategic Services, and Kimber Manufacturing were listed by the Akira ransomware group on November 21, 2025, indicating that internal files were exfiltrated in a ransomware attack. The number of people affected has not been disclosed; individuals should check whether their information was involved and take steps to protect themselves.
Inside the incident
The available information is limited to the leak-site posting. The group states that it exfiltrated internal files during a ransomware attack and published a sample of the material. No official statements from the listed companies have detailed the date of the intrusion, the entry method, or the scope of encryption. The total quantity of data taken and whether any of it has been published beyond the initial claim are not confirmed.
The group behind it: akira
Akira is a ransomware operation that has been active since early 2023. Public reporting shows the group typically uses double-extortion tactics, encrypting systems and threatening to release stolen files if a ransom is not paid. It has targeted organizations across multiple industries and maintains a leak site where it lists victims and posts samples of claimed data. Attribution in this case rests on the group’s own listing; independent verification of the intrusion has not been reported.
PM Plastics, Reliable Van & Storage, Landis, Whitinger Strategic Services, Kimber Manufact... Listed by akira Ransomware Group and its sector
The listed entities operate in manufacturing, logistics, real estate services, and business development. PM Plastics produces miniature and component parts from polymers and thermoplastics. Reliable Van & Storage provides residential and commercial moving services based in New Jersey. Landis assists renters with pathways to home ownership using data-driven tools. Whitinger Strategic Services supports business development for client organizations. These sectors routinely maintain records on customers, employees, suppliers, and operational processes.
What data was at risk
The only detail released is that internal files were taken. The exact categories of information contained in the 29 GB sample have not been disclosed. Organizations of this type commonly hold employee records, client contracts, financial documents, and proprietary operational data, but whether any of those categories appear in the exfiltrated material remains unconfirmed.
The real-world impact
Exposure of internal files can create follow-on risks for individuals whose personal or financial details appear in the material, including potential misuse for fraud or targeted scams. For the organizations, the incident may affect client trust, contractual obligations, and regulatory compliance requirements. No specific incidents of misuse or regulatory findings have been reported to date.
What to do if you're exposed
Individuals who have done business with any of the listed companies should monitor their financial accounts and credit reports for unusual activity. Enabling multi-factor authentication on important accounts and using a password manager reduce the chance of credential-based follow-on attacks.
