On October 18, 2024, Belgian company BusinessTraining.be appeared on the leak site operated by the safepay ransomware group. The listing states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack and a 80GB ZIP archive is now published as proof. The company’s annual revenue is listed at $16.3 million, but the disclosure does not specify how many individuals are affected or exactly which types of personal records were taken.

Details in the Leak-Site Listing
The safepay leak site entry states that BusinessTraining.be suffered a ransomware intrusion in which attackers successfully exfiltrated data before encryption. It presents a ZIP-80GB file as evidence and notes the firm’s reported revenue. The listing does not detail the precise contents of the archive, nor does it provide a victim count or name specific data fields such as customer names, employee payroll records, or partner contracts. Public views of the page show only the high-level claim that internal files were stolen.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a training provider that serves businesses and possibly individual clients is breached, your personal or professional information may now sit in an attacker-controlled archive. Even if you never directly interacted with BusinessTraining.be, shared business contacts, vendor lists, or client rosters often contain home addresses, private email accounts, and phone numbers that belong to ordinary people. Once those details leave the company’s control, they can be cross-referenced with other leaks to build profiles on you and your family members. The October 18, 2024 publication date means the data has already been made available to other criminals who scan ransomware leak sites daily.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk
Ransomware operators rarely stop at posting a single archive. The released files frequently contain spreadsheets, PDFs, and email exports that link names to addresses, phone numbers, and sometimes dates of birth. These fragments become the starting point for doxxing chains: an attacker finds your work email in the BusinessTraining.be data, locates the same email on a breached gaming forum, then maps both to your home address and family members’ accounts. Children’s gaming usernames are especially vulnerable because parents often reuse passwords or security questions across work-related services and family gaming profiles. The result is accelerated identity theft, targeted phishing, or even physical exposure if residential addresses are published.
