Quality Data Service, Inc. is a Connecticut-based software and services provider specializing in municipal government solutions for over 40 years. They offer integrated platforms for tax collections, assessments, utilities, GIS, and related municipal operations, serving municipalities across New England with US-based support and development teams.

The group alleges they contacted the company leadership privately before disclosure but received no response, and now are auctioning the data with per-municipality packages available.

Today, we’re opening the auction.Over the past several weeks, we’ve completed a full exfiltration from the infrastructure of Quality Data Service, Inc., Connecticut’s most “trusted” municipal software provider. The haul: approximately 300 GB of internal company data, including:SQL databases of client municipalities, tax departments, GIS records, and user credentialsGigabytes of PDFs, XLS files, DOC reports — many containing deeply sensitive financial, geographic, and personal data with contatsInternal emails, technical logs, software source code archives, vulnerability reports, and support ticketsMost importantly: comprehensive information on over 200 Connecticut municipalities, their operational structures, internal correspondences, and revaluation recordsThese aren’t just files. These are lives, towns, histories, and vulnerabilities — trusted to a company that no longer respects the responsibility it bears.Why Are We Doing This?We approached Quality Data Service, Inc. privately before publishing anything. Our intent was not destruction. But from the Founder & President, to the CFO, Director of Assessor Support,ITs and others — we received silence, evasion, or worse: denial.They knew.They were warned.They did nothing.Their refusal to act wasn’t just negligence — it was an act of contempt for every municipality they serve.It’s not just about stolen data. It’s about a culture that prioritizes profit over protection, and PR over real recovery. And when cybersecurity “experts” are called in only to recommend burning what’s left — that’s not incident response. That’s malpractice.The AuctionWe are now offering:Full dataset: All stolen data, intact and complete (buyout option)Per-municipality packages: Tailored datasets for each town or districteQuality source code: Core application and modules available separatelyBuyers of individual municipality data will receive exclusive access — upon purchase, that data will be removed from general availability. (We believe in boundaries, even if others do not.)If You're a VictimIf your municipality is among the affected, you can contact us.We offer:Permanent removal of your data from our archives and auctionTechnical documentation proving the breachInternal evidence of the company’s failure to act, including logs and communications with their leadershipAssistance in legal proceedings to seek compensation from Quality Data Service, Inc.Names of involved individuals include:Vinny Crudele, Founder & President [email protected] 203-758-9446Leo Dinicola, Chief Financial Officer [email protected] 860-417-3538 203-910-2316 [email protected] Gordon, Director of Tax Support [email protected] Crudele, Director of Assessor Support [email protected] 860-417-3617 203-518-1655David Crudele, Chief Operations Officer [email protected] 203-758-9446 203-598-2692Bryan Reilly (IT) [email protected] 860-202-9557Tom Tanganelli (IT) 860-456-2814 860-384-2449 [email protected] Johnson (Sales) 860-643-8100 860-729-4551 [email protected] Lavoie (Programming) 860-620-0785 860-919-1343 [email protected] Powell (eQuality) 203-509-4255 [email protected] take no joy in exposing them. But in the end, they chose convenience over courage.A Better WayYou may dislike what we’ve done — but it was never random.IT security is not a checkbox. It’s a culture. And we’ve seen firsthand how a failure to treat it seriously leads to the slow death of public trust. The worst thing about this breach is not the breach itself, but that it could have been prevented.We call on municipalities, CTOs, assessors, and public servants to work with real specialists who care more about solutions than headlines. The future belongs to those who build with integrity.listing https://gofile.io/d/5641ll
