Harvest Sherwood Food Distributors

Profile narrative

Harvest Sherwood Food Distributors, also operating under the names Harvest Food Distributors and Sherwood Food Distributors, is a food distribution company headquartered in the United States of America. The firm manages a distribution network that moves food products through its supply chain. Its core business involves procuring, storing, and delivering food items to various customers within its market. The company's aliases reflect its historical branding and regional recognizability.

On May 3, 2020, the organization experienced a ransomware attack carried out by the REvil threat group. The attackers exfiltrated approximately 2,600 files, which included cash‑flow analyses, distributor details, business insurance documents, vendor information, and scanned driver’s licenses from the company’s distribution network. Initially demanding a ransom of $4.25 million, the extortion demand was later increased to $7.5 million. The negotiations were facilitated through a ransomware mitigation firm, and the attackers threatened public release of the stolen data if payment was not made.

The incident occurred concurrently with another high‑profile breach targeting a celebrity law firm, both attributed to the same REvil group known for using stolen data in extortion schemes. The compromise highlighted the sensitivity of the information held by Harvest Sherwood Food Distributors, particularly personal identifiers such as driver’s licenses and financial records. No further details about the company’s size, ownership structure, or additional business lines are provided in the available sources.
