RADWAG Listed by nova Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
RADWAG was listed by the nova ransomware group on May 19, 2026, after internal files were exfiltrated in an attack. Check whether your information was involved and consider changing passwords or monitoring accounts if you had any dealings with the company.
What happened
On 19 May 2026 the RADWAG website was listed by the nova ransomware group. The group states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack and offers to supply a directory listing and samples to the company upon contact. No information has been released on the number of records involved, the method of initial access, or whether any data has been published beyond the initial listing.
The group behind it: nova
Nova is a ransomware operation that follows the common pattern of encrypting victim systems and threatening to release stolen data if ransom demands are not met. The group maintains a leak site where it lists organisations it claims to have targeted. Such listings are presented by the group itself and are not independently verified in this case.
RADWAG and its sector
RADWAG is a Polish manufacturer of electronic weighing equipment, including laboratory balances, industrial scales and precision measuring instruments. Companies in this sector routinely maintain records relating to customers, suppliers, product specifications, quality-control processes and internal operations. A breach involving such an organisation can therefore touch both commercial information and any personal data collected in the course of business.
What was likely exposed
The only detail provided is that internal files were allegedly exfiltrated. The exact categories of data contained in those files have not been disclosed. Organisations of this type commonly store customer contact details, order histories, technical documentation and employee records, but it is not confirmed whether any of these categories were present in the material taken.
What's at stake
Where personal data is involved, affected individuals may see an increased risk of targeted phishing or account misuse. For the organisation, the incident adds the possibility of further operational disruption and the need to manage any subsequent use of the stolen material. Without Reported Details on the data types or volume, the scale of these risks cannot be quantified at present.
What to do if you're exposed
Anyone who has had dealings with RADWAG or who uses an email address associated with the company can take the following steps to limit potential harm.
- Monitor bank and email accounts for unusual activity and enable multi-factor authentication where available.
- Watch for unsolicited messages that reference RADWAG or weighing equipment and treat them as suspicious.
- Run a free exposure scan of your email address against known breach data to check whether your information appears in public listings.

Publicly posted by nova — unverified claim, pending independent verification
Breach listings — particularly those originating from ransomware or leak sites — are third-party claims that may be unverified, incomplete, or inaccurate. A listing does not by itself confirm that a breach occurred or that any specific data was exposed. Severity is an automated assessment, not a definitive rating. Verification status is shown where available.
Attributions to threat groups and methods reflect public reporting and, in some cases, unverified claims made by the groups themselves; they may be incomplete or later revised.
