What the group claims

West Sixth Law is a law firm based in Madison, Indiana, specializing in personal injury, family law, criminal defense, estate planning, workers compensation, and social security disability. The company's employees didn't take their security seriously, and the password for all critical IT infrastructure was "Qwerty123". Data from major high-profile cases was compromised.

West Sixth Law is a law firm based in Madison, Indiana, specializing in personal injury, family law, criminal defense, estate planning, workers compensation, and social security disability. The company's employees didn't take their security seriously, and the password for all critical IT infrastructure was “Qwerty123” lol. Data from major high-profile cases—which had been presented in court and for which people had chosen to trust “West Sixth Law”—was compromised, but due to negligence, we were able to steal all of it.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by GLOBAL SECRET means West Sixth Law appeared on a ransomware extortion site and data attributed to it has been published. If this is your organisation, or a supplier you depend on, the priority is to confirm the intrusion and contain it before the window to act closes.

  • Engage your incident-response team and preserve forensic evidence before remediating — do not wipe affected systems first.
  • Force a password reset and revoke active sessions for exposed accounts; rotate any credentials, API keys or certificates that may have been in the stolen data.
  • Assess regulatory notification duties (GDPR, NIS2, sector regulators) — many carry a 72-hour reporting clock from awareness.
  • Report the incident to your national CERT, CISA (United States), as required for your jurisdiction.
  • Monitor for the data appearing on GLOBAL SECRET's leak site and across paste and breach channels, and brief downstream partners who may be exposed through you.

How we know this. Darkfield monitors public ransomware leak sites continuously, archiving every new disclosure and the data later released against the victim. Each entry on this page is sourced from the operator's own publication and cross-checked against complementary OSINT feeds (RansomLook, ransomware.live, RansomWatch). We do not collect or host stolen data — only the metadata, timestamps and screenshots needed to make the public disclosure searchable and accountable. Records here are corrected when the original post is edited, retracted, or merged with another disclosure.
