In June 2026, SMPC Architects, an architecture firm based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was reportedly targeted by the Akira ransomware group. The group claimed to have exfiltrated 163 GB of corporate data, but the company has not issued an official breach notice or statement regarding the incident. This information is based on reports from ransomware tracking sites and security researchers.
The alleged breach may have involved employee personal information, including passports, driver's licenses, and SSN cards, as well as financials, contracts, confidential settlements, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and client and partner information. The exact number of affected individuals has not been publicly confirmed. No medical data exposure was mentioned in the reports.
Details surrounding this incident, including the specific number of individuals affected and any official response from SMPC Architects, may emerge later. Breach notification to affected individuals and regulatory bodies may also be delayed.
