"With just three claimed victims on its website, including preschool network Kido Schools, Radiant Group today gave a Minnesota hospital seven days to comply with its demands or risk having its data plastered online."
"All data relating to Kido Schools International has been deleted," its website now reads. "One of our partners violated our rules by targeting a childcare company. Therefore, we will not continue any leakage of this childcare company, and they have been provided with a security report and deletion log."
"Rebecca Taylor, a threat intelligence knowledge manager at security biz Sophos, told The Register last week that the Nova group chastised Radiant on the Russian hacker forum RAMP for its treatment of young people. In response, Radiant agreed to remove the children's data."
Radiant Group, a newly active ransomware gang, claimed multiple victims including preschool network Kido Schools and a Minnesota hospital and gave the hospital seven days to meet extortion demands or face public data exposure. Radiant added the unnamed hospital to its data leak site shortly after launching operations in September. Radiant said it deleted Kido Schools data after an affiliate violated its rules by targeting childcare, and provided a security report and deletion log. A rival ransomware group, Nova, publicly criticized Radiant for exposing children, prompting Radiant to remove the preschool data.
