RPS Consulting Listed by nova Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
RPS Consulting has been listed by the nova ransomware group, with internal files reportedly exfiltrated in an attack disclosed on 9 February 2026. An undisclosed number of people may be affected; anyone connected to the firm should check their status and take appropriate security steps.
Inside the incident
The only confirmed detail is the public listing itself. nova posted RPS Consulting on its leak site, stating that internal files had been taken during a ransomware operation. No timeline for the intrusion, method of initial access, or confirmation of encryption has been disclosed by the company or investigators. The number of people whose information may be involved remains unknown, and RPS Consulting has not issued a public statement detailing the scope or response.
Who is nova?
Nova is a ransomware group that maintains a leak site to publish data from organisations it claims to have compromised. Like other groups in this category, it typically seeks to encrypt systems and exfiltrate files, then pressures victims by threatening to release the material if ransom demands are not met. The group has appeared in multiple prior listings involving companies across different sectors, though each claim must be assessed individually because public listings alone do not constitute independent verification of the underlying events.
Who is RPS Consulting?
RPS Consulting Pvt Ltd operates as an enterprise education service provider based in India. The firm delivers training programs through instructor-led, live virtual, and blended formats, covering topics such as data analytics and cloud certifications. Its clients include both corporate enterprises and individual professionals, some located outside India. Organisations of this type routinely collect and store records related to course registrations, payment processing, and client communications.
What data was at risk
The listing refers only to “internal files” without further specification. Exact categories of information have not been confirmed. Training providers commonly hold contact details, professional identifiers, payment records, and learning-management data, but it is not possible to state which of these, if any, were taken in this case.
What's at stake
Exposure of internal files from an education provider can affect both corporate clients and individual learners. Contact information and professional records may be used for targeted phishing or account takeover attempts. For the organisation, the incident adds operational and reputational consequences typical of ransomware listings, including potential regulatory scrutiny depending on the jurisdictions of its clients.
If your data was in this claimed breach
Monitor accounts associated with any training or certification programs you have used with the company and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Review bank and credit-card statements for unauthorised activity. Individuals can run a free exposure scan of their email address against known breach datasets to determine whether their information appears in previously published collections.
