Cybercriminals calling themselves Radiant have deleted stolen data from thousands of children at UK-based Kido nurseries after facing widespread criticism from both the public and fellow hackers. The gang had demanded £600,000 in bitcoin from Kido but removed the sensitive information from their extortion website following a backlash. Even other criminals on underground forums told Radiant to stop targeting children, with one hacker writing "reputation important, don't attack child right." The group apologized, saying "We are sorry for hurting kids" and confirmed all data on under-19s had been deleted. Cybersecurity experts say the move wasn't kindness but damage control, as targeting children hurt the group's credibility in criminal circles. **Source:** [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/oct/02/kido-nursery-hackers-say-they-have-deleted-stolen-data)
