Acme Truck Line Hit by Medusa Ransomware Attack, Exposing Sensitive Customer Data
On March 3, 2026, the Medusa ransomware group claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Acme Truck Line, Inc., a major U.S. transportation and logistics company. The group alleged it had exfiltrated the company’s data and threatened to publish it within days.
Acme Truck Line, founded in 1960 and headquartered in Gretna, Louisiana, operates nearly 80 offices across seven states, providing trucking services for oilfield equipment, general commodities, and other materials. The breach was officially disclosed to the Texas Attorney General on March 25, 2026, though details remain limited, including the total number of affected individuals.
The exposed data includes highly sensitive information, such as:
- Names, addresses, and dates of birth
- Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers
- Government-issued IDs (passport, state ID, credit/debit card numbers)
- Medical and health insurance information
- Financial account details
Shamis & Gentile P.A., a law firm specializing in data breach class actions, is investigating the incident and potential compensation for affected individuals. The full scope of the breach and its impact on customers remains under review.
