Unverified claim. This entry reproduces a listing published by the akira group on its own extortion site. Attackers routinely exaggerate or fabricate victims. Nothing here confirms that Smith Filter suffered a breach, or what data was actually taken.

About the organisation

Smith Filter is a leading manufacturer of high-quality air and grease filters, established in 1 939. They offer a wide range of products including permanent, disposable, and high-efficiency f ilters, catering to both OEM and custom orders. We will upload 10gb of corporate data soon. Employee personal information (passports, SSNs, DLs and other docs scans), credit cards information, projects info, clients information, NDAs, etc .

What the listing means

Smith Filter appeared on the akira leak site on 17 June 2026. Groups publish a victim once negotiations stall or as pressure during them, so a listing usually means data was already exfiltrated. This group has published 21 claims in the last 30 days and remains active.

Recommended actions

  • Treat any unsolicited message referencing Smith Filter as suspicious β€” leaked data gets weaponised for phishing within days.
  • If you hold an account with this organisation, change the password now 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 β€” check the organisation's own disclosures before acting on it.
