vanderpol's Listed by alphv Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
The vanderpol's Listed by alphv Ransomware Group (reported June 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 June 11, 2022. According to the post, ALPHV claimed to have exfiltrated internal files from EggSolutions Vanderpol's during a ransomware operation. No information has been made public about the date of the intrusion, the volume of data taken, the encryption of systems, or any ransom demand. The exact method of initial access also remains undisclosed.
Who is alphv?
ALPHV, also tracked publicly as BlackCat, is a ransomware-as-a-service operation that began appearing in late 2021. The group supplies encryption and data-theft tools to affiliate attackers and relies on double-extortion tactics, in which data is both encrypted and threatened with public release. It has claimed victims across multiple industries and geographies, though each listing on its site represents an unverified claim by the group until independently confirmed.
About vanderpol's
EggSolutions Vanderpol's is a family-owned Canadian egg processor that develops and supplies functional egg products to food manufacturers. Companies in this sector routinely maintain records on suppliers, production processes, quality testing, customer contracts, and regulatory compliance. A compromise at such a firm can affect both business continuity and the confidentiality of operational information shared with partners.
What was likely exposed
The only detail provided is that internal files were allegedly exfiltrated. No inventory of file types, record counts, or specific data categories has been released. Organisations of this kind commonly store supplier agreements, formulation records, laboratory results, and employee or customer contact information, but whether any of those categories were present in the exfiltrated material is unconfirmed.
Why it matters
Exposure of internal operational files can create competitive or regulatory risks for the company and its partners. If the files contain personal information, affected individuals could face increased chances of targeted phishing or account misuse. Because the scope of the data remains unknown, the practical impact on any single person cannot yet be assessed from public information.
If your data was in this claimed breach
Monitor financial and email accounts for unusual activity and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Review privacy settings on any accounts linked to the organisation. Individuals can also run a free exposure scan of their email address against known breach data to check for prior appearances of their information.

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.
