NDS

NDS was compromised in a ransomware attack attributed to kairos in December 2025. The organization, operating in an undisclosed sector in Unknown, was added to the group's data leak site as part of an extortion campaign.

kairos operates as a financially motivated ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation, exfiltrating sensitive data and threatening public disclosure to pressure victims into paying ransom demands.

As a full-service nonprofit developer, general contractor, property manager, and service provider, NDS has become a strong force in both residential and commercial real estate development. NDS’s programs include housing rehabilitation, its oldest service. In most cases, NDS enters into an agreement with the community to utilize CDBG and/or HOME funds. NDS is a frequent recipient of the USDA Housing Preservation grant, and has also administered Summit County’s Lead Hazard Abatement Program.
