Worst people alive hack nursery chain and start posting pictures and personal info of literal toddlers on the dark web

A toddler's hands play with some wooden blocks.

A hacking group calling itself Radiant has compromised a UK nursery chain called Kido, and is threatening to release the data it accessed unless a ransom is paid (first reported by the BBC). On Thursday it posted the profiles of 10 children on a dark web page alongside a "Data Leakage Roadmap" threatening that their next action would be to "release 30 more 'profiles' of each child and 100 employees' private data."

The London Metropolitan Police is investigating. Kido's data was accessed through a breach of another software company, Famly, which is primarily used by childcare organisations.
