ABI and Ideal Tape
About the organisation
From the creation of our very first line of friction tapes in 1908, we have stuck to our belief in developing quality products, holding ourselves to the highest standards. ABI Tapes products are primarily sold through a worldwide network of select industry-focused distributors and con verters. ABI and Ideal Tape are subsidiaries of American Biltrite Inc. We will upload 11gb of corporate data soon. Employee personal information, customer files, proj ects, contracts, internal confidential files, etc.
What the listing means
ABI and Ideal Tape appeared on the akira leak site on 06 May 2026. Groups publish a victim once negotiations stall or as pressure during them, so a listing usually means data was already exfiltrated — the attack itself is dated 20 April 2026, 16 days before the listing. This group has published 21 claims in the last 30 days and remains active.
Recommended actions
- Treat any unsolicited message referencing ABI and Ideal Tape as suspicious — leaked data gets weaponised for phishing within days.
- If you hold an account on abitape.com, change that password now, update it anywhere you reused it, and enable two-factor authentication.
- Other Manufacturing organisations should review this group's known TTPs and validate detection coverage against them.
- Watch for follow-on extortion: stolen data is often re-leaked or resold after the initial listing.
- A leak-site listing is a claim made by the attacker, not a confirmed breach — check the organisation's own disclosures before acting on it.
