Overview

• Kido and independent cybersecurity sources confirmed that child profiles previously posted on Radiant’s site have been removed as the group claimed to delete the stolen data.
• Kido says it followed official guidance not to pay a ransom, and parents reported receiving threatening calls pressuring them to push for payment in bitcoin.
• Cybersecurity researchers say Radiant backed down after a Nova affiliate on a criminal forum warned that attacking children would harm its reputation.
• Radiant’s leak portal was reformatted and now displays a Kido logo along with a search bar and Tox contact details.
• UK regulators and police continue inquiries, parents express distrust of the deletion claim, and claimant firms are gathering interest for potential legal action.
