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.

Reported Details from Reporting

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.

Nova Ransomware Group’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the nova Ransomware Group with emerging in late 2024. The group has claimed responsibility for attacks on a range of organizations, including manufacturing firms, logistics companies, and hospitality targets. Its typical playbook involves initial access through phishing or exploited remote-desktop services, followed by rapid exfiltration of sensitive files and deployment of ransomware. The group then uses dual extortion: threatening both data encryption and public release of stolen documents unless payment is made. Deadlines posted on its leak site are usually short, often seven to fourteen days.

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 chains exist today.

• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next time your information surfaces you learn within hours rather than months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same address or recovery details.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and exposed records while you focus on securing your own accounts.
