Ridge Law Firm Listed by spacebears Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
Ridge Law Firm was listed by the spacebears ransomware group on May 27, 2026, after internal files were exfiltrated in a ransomware attack affecting an undisclosed number of people. Individuals connected to the firm should check whether their information was exposed and take appropriate protective steps.
Inside the incident
The only confirmed information is the May 27, 2026, listing on the spacebears leak site. The entry identifies Ridge Law Firm and asserts that internal files were taken. No timeline for the underlying intrusion, no volume of data, and no description of the encryption or exfiltration methods have been disclosed. The firm has not issued a public statement on the matter.
Who is spacebears?
Spacebears is a ransomware group that maintains a leak site to publish names of organizations it claims to have compromised. The group’s listing of Ridge Law Firm constitutes an unverified claim by the actor; independent confirmation of the intrusion or data theft has not been reported.
About Ridge Law Firm
Ridge Law Firm operates as ridgelawfirm.com and is led by attorney Michael T. Ridge. It has provided personal injury representation to clients in the Bronx for more than twenty years under the brand 1-800-THE-BRONX. The practice handles accident claims on a contingency basis and routinely collects medical, financial, and personal details from individuals seeking compensation for injuries.
The information in question
The spacebears listing refers only to “internal files exfiltrated in ransomware attack.” No inventory of specific documents or data categories has been released. Law firms of this type commonly store client identifiers, medical records, insurance information, and case correspondence, but the exact contents involved in this incident remain unconfirmed.
Why it matters
Personal injury matters involve sensitive health and financial information that can remain relevant for years. Unauthorized access to such records can lead to identity misuse or targeted fraud against former clients. For the firm, the incident adds operational and regulatory exposure typical of any organization that holds protected client data.
What to do if you're exposed
Individuals who have worked with Ridge Law Firm should monitor their financial and medical accounts for unusual activity. Steps include placing fraud alerts with credit bureaus, reviewing statements regularly, and considering credit freezes where appropriate. Readers can run a free exposure scan of their email address to check whether their information appears in known breach data.

Publicly posted by spacebears — 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.
