# EAD-Online.be

Data breach — Moderate

A cybercriminal claims to have put up for sale on a specialized forum, on September 15, 2026, a database presented as belonging to EAD-Online.be, a Belgian e-learning platform linked to the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. The claim concerns roughly 19,456 users, with the published sample exposing a user ID, first and last name, and an email address. The authenticity, origin, and exact scope of this database have not been independently confirmed, and EAD-Online has not issued any public statement on the incident so far.

If the claim is genuine, associating a name and email address with this educational platform could facilitate targeted phishing campaigns against the individuals concerned.

## Exposed data

- Email address
- Full name
- Customer ID

## What you can do

- Expect phishing attempts quoting your name and this company. A message that knows your details is not legitimate for that reason.
- You can ask the organisation exactly what was exposed about you (right of access), and complain to the DPA if no answer comes within a month.
