Editor’s note: The claims described below originate from a ransomware group’s leak-site posting and have not been independently verified by GalaxyWarden. A listing of this kind is an assertion made by the group during an extortion attempt. It is not evidence that a breach occurred, and we report it as a claim rather than as a finding.

On January 31, 2025, Propulsion Academy AG appeared on the leak site of the fog ransomware group after the company’s internal files were allegedly exfiltrated during a ransomware attack.
What's Publicly Reported from Reporting
Public reporting indicates that fog actors listed Propulsion Academy AG, a Swiss-based professional training and education provider, alongside two other organizations named Professional Computer and X-Pans. The listing includes a sample of allegedly stolen internal documents. No confirmed total number of affected individuals has been released, and the precise volume or sensitivity of the files remains unclear from available reporting. The breach follows the typical ransomware pattern of initial access, data exfiltration, and subsequent public shaming when ransom demands go unmet.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a training academy’s internal files are stolen, any personal data they hold on students, alumni, instructors, or business partners can end up exposed. That often includes names, addresses, dates of birth, email accounts, phone numbers, and sometimes payment or employment records. For ordinary people and their families, this creates immediate risks of identity theft, phishing campaigns, and unwanted solicitations. Credential leaks from such incidents frequently cascade into account takeovers across other services where the same email and password combination is reused.
Children and teenagers enrolled in courses or workshops are not immune. Their information can be linked to family addresses and then used to target gaming accounts or social profiles. Once one piece of data surfaces, it becomes easier for attackers to build a fuller picture of your household.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications
Stolen internal files rarely stay isolated. Attackers or opportunistic criminals can combine leaked emails, usernames, and personal details with information already circulating on underground forums. This creates an identity chain that links your work email to personal accounts, family members, and even children’s online handles. What begins as a corporate ransomware incident can quickly escalate into doxxing attempts, harassment, or social-engineering attacks aimed at your family. Gaming accounts are especially vulnerable because kids often reuse credentials or email addresses tied to school or training programs.
Fog Ransomware Group’s Known Track Record
Public reporting attributes the fog ransomware group with emerging in 2024 and rapidly building a reputation for aggressive double-extortion tactics. The group has previously targeted organizations across education, technology, and professional services sectors. Their typical playbook involves gaining initial access through phishing or exploited vulnerabilities, exfiltrating sensitive files before encryption, and then publishing samples on their leak site when victims refuse to pay. Fog’s public statements and leak-site activity show a focus on pressuring organizations by threatening to release employee and customer data rather than relying solely on file encryption.
What to do
- Rotate any password you or your family ever used at Propulsion Academy AG or related training platforms, and enable 2FA through an authenticator app everywhere that password was reused.
- Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, handles, and real-world identity, with cleanup handled by the service.
- Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak exposing you or your children is caught in hours rather than months.
- Cover the entire household with DoxxScan family protection, which extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same leaked credentials.
- Let DoxxScan remediation specialists manage takedown requests across data brokers and exposed profiles on your behalf while you focus on securing accounts.
