On May 27, 2026, the Nova ransomware group added My English House academy to its leak site, claiming that internal files had been exfiltrated from the Spanish language-school chain. The breach affects the personal and operational data of families who enrolled children or adults in classes at any of the network’s more than 30 locations across Spain.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

Public reporting indicates that Nova actors gained access to My English House systems, copied internal documents, and later posted a sample of the stolen data on their dark-web leak page. The company, founded by Carlos Barberá and Arturo Mateu, operates under a franchise model and uses a proprietary “learning by doing” methodology. The ransomware group provided a data tree and samples to the victim upon contact, a standard step before setting an extortion deadline. Exact number of records exposed remains unknown, but the nature of the files suggests student records, parent contact details, employee information, and franchise contracts are likely included.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or your children attended My English House, your names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, and possibly payment details may now sit in a ransomware repository. That information can be sold once, twice, or packaged with other leaks and used for years. For families, the risk is concrete: a child’s name linked to a parent’s phone number and email can fuel phishing texts, fake tuition demands, or identity theft that affects credit scores and future loan applications. Language schools often store passport copies or national ID numbers for foreign students, raising the stakes for households that provided those documents.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

A single breach rarely stays isolated. The emails, usernames, or passwords allegedly taken from My English House can be tested against gaming platforms, social-media accounts, and school portals. Once attackers link a child’s Roblox or Minecraft username to a parent’s leaked email, they can map an entire household. This identity-chain effect turns one school breach into repeated targeting: doxxing lists, SIM-swapping attempts, and spear-phishing campaigns that feel personal because they reference your child’s class schedule or recent exam results. Credential leaks like this one routinely cascade into account takeovers precisely because families reuse passwords across education, entertainment, and work services.

What to Do

  • Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, then use the no-subscription cleanup to remove what you can.
  • Rotate any password you ever used at My English House anywhere else it appears, and switch on two-factor authentication through an authenticator app rather than SMS.
  • Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1 billion+ breach records and more than 100 platforms so the next exposure is caught in hours instead of months.
  • Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection, which extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same address or parent email.
  • Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and leak sites while you focus on securing your own devices and accounts.

The incident shows that even seemingly routine service providers can become gateways to long-term targeting of you and your family. Starting with a clear picture of what data is already exposed gives you the best chance of stopping the next stage before it begins. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers that visibility through continuous monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, hands-on remediation by specialists, and full household coverage that includes children’s gaming accounts.
