London nurseries hit by hackers, data on 8,000 children stolen

London nurseries run by childcare provider Kido International were hacked, with data on over 8,000 children reportedly stolen, according to Reuters. The claim was made by cybercriminals on their dark web portal, who said they had access to Kido’s networks for weeks. The gang, which calls itself Radiant, evidenced its claim by publishing the names, photos, home addresses, and family contact information of 10 children they said attended one of Kido’s 18 nurseries in Greater London.

The post notes that the information was disclosed after the breach, with the hackers speaking over an encrypted messaging service. This report was published on 27 September 2025, with the article indicating further details can be read at Reuters.
