The Laxmi Niwas Palace Listed by Nova Ransomware Group

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

India A luxury historic hotel located in a palace in Bikaner, India. It was built in 1902 for Maharaja Ganga Singh and is now a popular tourist destination offering guests accommodation in the former royal palace.
— from Nova’s own leak-site posting. This is the group’s claim, quoted verbatim; it is not GalaxyWarden’s reporting and has not been independently verified.

The Laxmi Niwas Palace Listed by Nova Ransomware Group

On October 23, 2025, the nova Ransomware Group listed the Laxmi Niwas Palace on its leak site, claiming that internal files had been exfiltrated from the historic luxury hotel in Bikaner, India. Guests, past visitors, staff members, and anyone whose personal details were stored in the palace’s booking, payment, or guest-management systems may now find their information circulating in criminal circles.

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 the incident is a ransomware attack in which the group first gained access, encrypted systems, and then exfiltrated files before publishing a sample on its dark-web leak page. The Laxmi Niwas Palace, originally built in 1902 as a residence for Maharaja Ganga Singh, now operates as a heritage hotel popular with international tourists. Available reporting describes the exposed material as internal files; exact volume and full contents remain unconfirmed. No specific victim count or list of stolen data types has been publicly detailed beyond the broad category of internal files.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a hotel suffers a breach, the data involved is rarely limited to corporate spreadsheets. Booking records often contain full names, home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, passport copies, payment-card details, and travel itineraries. If you or your family have stayed at the Laxmi Niwas Palace or any similar heritage property, those details could already be in attackers’ hands. Once criminals possess even a few pieces of information about you, they can combine them with data from earlier breaches to build a profile that enables identity theft, fraudulent bookings, or targeted scams against your household.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Credential leaks from hospitality systems frequently cascade far beyond the original breach. A single email-and-password pair taken from a hotel reservation database can unlock linked accounts on travel platforms, loyalty programs, and personal email. Attackers then map those connections to uncover additional handles, phone numbers, and even children’s gaming accounts that share the same family address or recovery email. The result is an identity chain that leads to doxxing, SIM-swapping attempts, or extortion demands directed at you or your family members.

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.

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.
