Overview
- Specialist Met officers arrested a 17-year-old and a 22-year-old in Bishop’s Stortford on suspicion of computer misuse and blackmail, and both remain in custody.
- The September attack on Kido nurseries was claimed by a group calling itself Radiant, which published profiles of about 10 children on a dark‑web site and contacted parents to pressure payment.
- The group later told media it blurred and deleted the leaked material after widespread condemnation, and detectives say their investigation is ongoing.
- Reports said data on about 8,000 children, along with some parent and carer details, was stolen in the breach.
- Kido told families the data was accessed via its Famly account, while Famly said it found no breach of its systems as the Met, ICO and NCSC inquiries proceed.
