In March 2026, WEDGE, a company focused on private investments and commercial real estate properties across various locations including Houston, Sugar Land, Austin, Irving, and McKinney, appeared on a ransomware victim list. The AKIRA ransomware group claimed responsibility, asserting they had exfiltrated 15 GB of corporate data, though WEDGE has not yet publicly confirmed this incident.
The attackers specifically claimed to possess sensitive corporate data, including employee passports, driver's licenses, SSNs, W9 and I9 forms, as well as significant financial information and details of investment projects. The exact number of individuals affected and the full scope of the breach remain unclear. No official breach notification or statement from WEDGE has been publicly released.
Additional details about this incident may emerge as investigations progress, and official notices may be delayed.
