strtn.org Listed by Nova Ransomware Group

On December 15, 2025, the Tunisian Society of Radiology appeared on the leak site of the nova ransomware group. The organization, originally founded in 1952 as the Tunisian Association of Electro-Radiology by the late Doctor Ali Fourati, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. Public reporting indicates that the number of people directly affected remains unknown, yet any member, patient, or partner whose information touched those systems could now face exposure.

What Public Reporting Shows

Available reporting describes the incident as a classic ransomware operation. The nova group claims to have stolen internal files from strtn.org before encrypting systems and demanding payment. No specific volume of records has been disclosed, and the precise data types—such as membership lists, medical correspondence, or financial details—have not been publicly detailed beyond the broad category of internal files. The listing on the nova leak site serves as both proof of theft and a public shaming tactic to pressure the victim into paying.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a professional society like the Tunisian Society of Radiology suffers a breach, the ripple effects reach ordinary people. If you or a family member is a radiologist, technician, recent patient, or even listed as an emergency contact, your personal information may now sit in an attacker’s archive. Medical organizations hold names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and sometimes national ID equivalents. Once that data leaves secure servers, it rarely stays contained. Criminals package it with other leaks and sell or publish it, turning one organization’s misfortune into a permanent risk for every individual connected to it.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Credential leaks from professional associations frequently cascade into account takeovers and doxxing chains. An email address used for society correspondence is often the same one tied to your bank, your children’s school portals, or family gaming accounts. Attackers follow these links: a leaked work email leads to a reused password, which unlocks social media, which reveals home addresses and family names. Children’s gaming accounts are especially vulnerable because parents often reuse credentials across work, personal, and family profiles. What begins as a society breach can end with stalkers or scammers targeting your household through every linked digital identity.

Nova Ransomware Group Track Record

Public reporting attributes nova as a ransomware operation that emerged in recent years and follows a double-extortion model. The group typically gains initial access through phishing or exploited remote desktop protocols, exfiltrates sensitive files, then deploys encryption. If the victim refuses to pay, nova publishes samples on its dark-web leak site to amplify pressure. Notable prior victims include various mid-sized organizations across sectors; the group’s playbook relies on speed, data theft, and public humiliation rather than prolonged negotiation. Readers can follow independent trackers for updated nova activity.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, with cleanup handled by the service.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure is caught in hours rather than months.
• Rotate any password you used at the Tunisian Society of Radiology or strtn.org wherever it appears, and switch to 2FA through an authenticator app instead of SMS.
• Cover the entire household with DoxxScan family protection, which extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same credentials and address.
• Let remediation specialists manage takedown requests across data brokers and exposed profiles so you do not have to chase every site yourself.

The incident underscores a simple truth: data stolen in 2025 can fuel identity crimes for years. Protecting yourself and your family requires more than changing one password. Start your DoxxScan trial for continuous monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping that links handles to real identities, hands-on remediation by specialists, and household coverage that includes children’s gaming accounts. These steps turn a reactive breach notice into ongoing defense.
