rawafid Listed by Nova Ransomware Group

If you are a customer of rawafid, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

rawafid was listed on Nova's leak site. Nova claims to have stolen internal data. This is the group's claim, not a confirmed finding.

On April 23, 2025, the Saudi company Rawafid Industrial appeared on the leak site of the nova Ransomware Group, with attackers claiming to have exfiltrated internal files from the firm’s systems.

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

Rawafid Industrial was established in 2008 and is headquartered in Riyadh. The company focuses on water infrastructure projects, including seawater and brackish water desalination as well as wastewater treatment. Public reporting indicates that the nova group posted data on its dark-web leak site, accessible via the onion address hosted on ransomware.live. Available reporting describes the exposed material as internal files, though the exact volume and full list of data types have not been independently verified. The number of individuals whose personal information may be contained in those files remains unknown.

April 23, 2025 marks the date the listing appeared. No public confirmation has emerged from Rawafid itself about the incident or the accuracy of the attackers’ claims.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a company that handles large-scale public infrastructure projects suffers a breach, the ripple effects often reach ordinary people. Rawafid’s work involves government contracts, supplier databases, employee records, and potentially customer or resident information tied to water-treatment facilities across the region. If personal details such as names, contact information, identification numbers, or financial records were stored in the compromised files, your information or that of your family could be exposed even if you have never directly done business with the firm.

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.
