Rod Danielson Listed by incransom Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
Rod Danielson was listed by the incransom ransomware group on December 19, 2025, after internal files were exfiltrated in a ransomware attack. An undisclosed number of people may have been affected; anyone connected to the organisation should verify their status and take protective steps.
Ransomware groups continue to target public-sector and legal-service organizations that manage sensitive personal and financial records. On December 19, 2025, the incransom ransomware group listed Rod Danielson on its leak site, claiming responsibility for a ransomware attack that resulted in the exfiltration of internal files. The number of individuals affected remains unknown, and no further technical details have been made public.
Such incidents illustrate the ongoing risk to entities that hold bankruptcy-related data, where even limited disclosures can affect debtors, creditors, and court participants whose information is processed through trustee offices.
What happened
The incident was first noted publicly on December 19, 2025, when incransom added Rod Danielson to its leak-site listing. The group claims to have carried out a ransomware attack and exfiltrated internal files. No information has been released about the timing of the intrusion, the method of initial access, the volume of data taken, or whether any data was subsequently published.
Who is incransom?
Incransom is a ransomware operation that uses a double-extortion model: it encrypts systems and also removes data, then lists victim organizations on a public leak site to pressure payment. The group’s listings represent its own claims and are not independently verified at the time they appear. Similar actors have repeatedly focused on mid-sized organizations in regulated sectors where disruption can affect essential services.
Who is Rod Danielson?
Rod Danielson operates as the Chapter 13 Trustee for the Central District of California, Riverside Division. The office administers bankruptcy cases under Chapter 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, providing information and case-management services to debtors, creditors, attorneys, and other parties. Organizations of this type routinely process personal identifiers, financial statements, court filings, and payment records required for bankruptcy proceedings.
The information in question
The only detail released states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. No inventory of specific data fields, file counts, or categories has been published. Organizations performing Chapter 13 trustee functions typically hold names, addresses, Social Security numbers, income and asset information, creditor lists, and case-related correspondence; however, whether any of these categories were among the files taken in this incident is unconfirmed.
- Listed organization: Rod Danielson, Chapter 13 Trustee
- Date first reported: December 19, 2025
- Claimed action: exfiltration of internal files
- Scale of exposure: not disclosed
The real-world impact
Individuals involved in bankruptcy proceedings may face heightened risk of identity misuse or financial fraud if personal or account details were among the exfiltrated files. For the trustee office, the incident can create operational delays, additional legal and remediation costs, and reduced public confidence in the handling of sensitive case materials. Because the exact scope remains unknown, affected parties cannot yet assess their personal exposure.

Publicly posted by incransom — 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.
