Arctic Glacier Premium Ice, a manufacturer and distributor of packaged ice products, has experienced a major data breach. On July 22, 2025, the ransomware group known as Qilin claimed responsibility for a cyberattack. The cybercriminals posted on the dark web that they had successfully infiltrated the company’s systems and exfiltrated sensitive organizational data.
The exact number of individuals affected by the data breach has not been release, but is believed to be in the thousands. Compromised information may include names, contact information, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state ID numbers and financial information.
The severity of the breach is heightened by the fact that Qilin is a well-known ransomware group with a history of leaking stolen data if their demands are not met. The stolen data was announced on a dark web Tor-based leak site, which means it could be distributed or sold to other cybercriminals if Arctic Glacier Premium Ice does not comply with the ransom request.

Protect Your Data
A breach notice means your personal details could be circulating far beyond the organization involved. One practical step is continuous monitoring: services such as Identity Defender (included with an ExpressVPN subscription) can automatically check dark-web markets, flag new credit-file activity, and request removal of your information from data-broker sites.
This kind of “early-warning system” can’t undo a breach, but it can help you spot misuse quickly and limit further exposure. ExpressVPN is offering 61% off, risk-free for 30 days, with ID Theft Insurance included and no extra cost for those who sign up for one or two years.
