Regina Coeli Convent Listed by INC Ransom Ransomware Group

On January 17, 2025, the incransom ransomware group added the Regina Coeli Convent to its public leak site, claiming that internal files had been exfiltrated from the Louisiana nonprofit that provides early childhood services to more than 1,800 children and employs over 500 people across a five-parish area.

Reported Details of the Breach

Public reporting indicates the organization suffered a ransomware attack in which attackers gained access to internal systems, exfiltrated data, and later listed the victim on the group’s leak blog. The exact number of files or specific records exposed has not been disclosed in available reporting. The incident follows the group’s typical pattern of encrypting victim networks, demanding payment, and threatening to publish stolen data if the ransom is not paid by their deadline.

Internal files were taken, though the precise data types—such as employee records, family enrollment information, or financial documents—remain unclear from public descriptions of the leak site posting.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

Even when a breach hits a school, daycare, or nonprofit like Regina Coeli, the consequences reach the families it serves. Names, addresses, dates of birth, and contact details tied to children and parents can appear in the stolen data. Once that information leaves the organization’s control, it can be sold, traded, or used to target your household with identity theft, phishing, or harassment. If you or your children receive services from similar community programs, this incident shows how quickly your family’s information can end up in the hands of criminals.

Over 1,800 children and more than 500 employees are connected to the affected organization, meaning thousands of related family records may now be at risk.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one dataset. Attackers or buyers often combine the newly exposed files with information already circulating on forums and dark-web markets. A parent’s email from the breach can be linked to a username on a family social-media account, a child’s gaming profile, or a reused password at another service. This creates an identity chain that makes doxxing, account takeovers, and targeted scams far easier. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into gaming account compromises, especially for children whose handles are tied to family addresses or parent emails.

Incransom’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the attacks to the incransom ransomware group. The group emerged in recent years and has built a reputation for targeting organizations across sectors, posting victim data on its leak site when ransoms go unpaid. Its playbook typically involves initial access through common vulnerabilities or phishing, followed by claimed exfiltration of sensitive files, deployment of ransomware to encrypt systems, and extortion based on the threat of public disclosure. Notable prior victims have included various enterprises and nonprofits, though exact details vary by incident. The group maintains an active onion-site blog where it lists new victims and sample data.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, usernames, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what this claimed breach connects to.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next leak exposing you or your family is caught in hours rather than months.
• Rotate any password you used at Regina Coeli or similar services and switch to 2FA through an authenticator app instead of text messages.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that includes dependents and your children’s gaming accounts, which often chain back to the same addresses or parent credentials.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and exposed profiles so you do not have to chase them yourself.
