dasmeshschool.com Listed by safepay Ransomware Group

On August 29, 2025, the website of Dasmesh Punjabi School in Winnipeg, Manitoba, appeared on the leak site of the safepay ransomware group. The private independent school, which combines the provincial curriculum with Punjabi language and Sikh studies, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. While the exact number of people affected remains unknown, any family connected to the school — students, parents, staff, or alumni — now faces the risk that sensitive personal records are in the hands of criminals.

Reported Details from Reporting

Public reporting indicates that safepay posted evidence of the breach on its dark-web leak site. The data consists of internal files exfiltrated from the school’s systems. No specific deadline for ransom payment has been publicly detailed in available reporting, but ransomware groups routinely set short windows before releasing more material. The school has not yet issued a public statement confirming the volume or exact nature of the stolen records.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a school’s internal files are stolen, the information often includes names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, medical notes, emergency contacts, and sometimes financial or immigration details for entire families. If your child attends or has attended Dasmesh Punjabi School, your family’s private information may now be circulating among threat actors. Even if you are not directly connected, credential leaks from one institution frequently cascade into other accounts you share with the same email or password.

Children’s records are especially attractive because they often remain unchanged for years, giving thieves a long window to open accounts, apply for credit, or sell the data on underground markets.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk

Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one database. Criminals use stolen school files to map relationships between parents, children, grandparents, and staff. A single leaked email can link to social-media handles, gaming accounts, and phone numbers. Once these connections are made, attackers can launch targeted phishing, SIM-swapping, or full doxxing campaigns. Gaming accounts belonging to children are frequently hit next because kids often reuse simple passwords or email addresses tied to school records.

Safepay’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes safepay with emerging in late 2024 as a ransomware-as-a-service operation. The group has claimed responsibility for attacks on schools, healthcare providers, and small-to-medium businesses. Its typical playbook involves initial access through phishing or unpatched remote desktop services, followed by exfiltration of sensitive files and deployment of ransomware. Victims are given a short payment window; non-payment leads to gradual publication of stolen data on the group’s leak site, with pressure increased through direct contact and public shaming.

What to Do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your family’s emails, phone numbers, handles, and real identities so you can see exactly what chains back to the school breach.
