Radiant Threatens Wider Leak After Posting Kido Nursery Children’s Data Online

Police and regulators are probing the breach after Kido linked it to two external systems.

Overview

  • Radiant published profiles of 10 children with names, photos, addresses and family contact details on a dark‑web site.
  • The group’s posted “data leakage roadmap” threatens to release 30 more child profiles and 100 employee records unless paid.
  • The Metropolitan Police cyber unit has opened enquiries and the ICO is assessing Kido’s report, with no arrests announced.
  • Kido told families it has engaged independent forensics and that the incident involves two third‑party systems, and it is working with the ICO and Ofsted.
  • Childcare software provider Famly says its infrastructure was not breached and no other customers were affected, while the hackers claimed without evidence to be based in Russia.
