Ransomware group Deadlock hits SHAHEEN LAW GROUP PLC - Richmond, Virginia, USA

Family law firm, established 1995 by Victor A. Shaheen (†2025 - the General Assembly of Virginia honored him with a resolution; google it, it is touching). Now run by his three sons. 48 employees across four offices: Richmond, Midlothian, Virginia Beach, Newport News. What do they do? They close 150+ real estate transactions EVERY MONTH for some of the largest corporate relocation programs in America. When a Fortune-500 moves an employee to Virginia, this firm holds that employee's Social Security Number, bank wiring details, home address, family identities, and sometimes their medical clearance. They hold everyone's future in a shared folder. We now hold the folder. WHAT WE TOOK 36,788 files · 27GB · 21,789 fully read 67,000+ SSN patterns (their own dedup says 6,017 real people — we will let their customers decide which number to believe) EVIDENCE — SERIES PREVIEW (from their actual files) - S1 DEEDS WITH SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS File: "5053815 - Unsigned Deed.docx" (verbatim from their server): "***-**-XXXX B•••• H••• Social Security Number ***-**-XXXX J••••• H••• Social Security Number 10356 Ashburn Road, North Chesterfield, VA 23235" File: "Kelley 5042085 - DEED.docx": "PURCHASER(S): N••••• S••• SELLER'S NAME: S••• E.
