UK Nursery Hackers Delete Data After Backlash
Some hackers, called Radiant, stole information about over 8,000 kids from a UK nursery called Kido Schools.
The hackers put some of the kids' pictures and other details on the internet and threatened to release more unless they got money.
Parents were worried.
The hackers then took all the stolen info down and apologized, likely because they were getting a lot of attention and didn't want to get in trouble.
This made the authorities say it was a very upsetting situation.
Hackers stole data of over 8,000 children from Kido Schools.
The hackers posted some data online before removing it.
They demanded a ransom in Bitcoin from Kido Schools.
The National Cyber Security Centre called the incident 'deeply distressing'.
