MEDES College Listed by Medusa Ransomware Group

MEDES College Listed by Medusa Ransomware Group

On February 10, 2025, MEDES College appeared on the leak site of the Medusa ransomware group. The Canadian beauty and wellness school is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated after a ransomware attack. Students, staff, and clients whose personal information was stored in those systems are now at risk of identity theft and doxxing.

Already exposed?

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.

A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates that Medusa listed MEDES College on its data leak portal on February 10, 2025. The institution, located at 1040 Champlain St Ste 300, Dieppe, New Brunswick, employs 21 people and offers programs in spa and wellness education along with actual spa services. Available reporting describes the exposed material as internal files taken during a ransomware incident. The exact number of individuals affected remains unknown, and the specific types of records have not been publicly detailed beyond the broad category of internal files.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a school or training college is breached, the data often includes names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, Social Insurance Numbers, payment details, and student transcripts. If you or anyone in your family has taken courses there, received spa treatments, or worked at the college, your information could now be in attackers’ hands. Credential leaks like this one frequently spread to other services where the same email and password are reused, putting bank accounts, government portals, and children’s online profiles at risk. Families feel the impact directly when children’s records or parents’ employment files surface in underground forums.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Ransomware operators rarely stop at posting generic files. Once initial data appears, opportunistic criminals scrape it for email addresses, usernames, and phone numbers that link across social media, gaming platforms, and data-broker profiles. This creates an identity chain: a single leaked school record can expose a parent’s LinkedIn, a teenager’s Discord handle, and a family address. The result is targeted harassment, SIM-swapping attempts, or full doxxing packages sold on dark-web marketplaces. Gaming accounts belonging to you or your children are especially vulnerable because credential leaks cascade quickly into account takeovers that reveal real names and home addresses.

Unverified claim — what this report is

This page documents a public listing on a ransomware/extortion group’s leak site, tracked via public threat-intelligence sources. A listing is the attacker’s claim. GalaxyWarden aggregates and reports such claims; we have not independently verified that a breach occurred, what data (if any) was taken, or the accuracy of anything the group asserts, and the named organisation has not necessarily confirmed the incident. Sections above describe what the listing shows and the group’s documented history — not verified findings about the named organisation. If you represent this organisation and believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us and we’ll review it promptly.

Editorial & sourcing policy

GalaxyWarden is a breach-monitoring service and news aggregator. We do not exfiltrate, host, purchase, or redistribute stolen data. Breach information is compiled from publicly accessible sources and threat-intelligence platforms, and is reported as claims attributed to their source. We promptly correct or remove material shown to be inaccurate — see our content & takedown policy or write to support@galaxywarden.com.
