Hunters International: A Repetitive Attack Pattern
This data breach on L’Azienda USL di Modena follows a similar pattern seen in November when Hunters International targeted InstantWhip with ransomware, adding the company to their growing list of cyberattack victims.
InstantWhip, a significant player with a revenue of US$300 million, has yet to release any official statements regarding the alleged cyberattack. The situation bears resemblance to an earlier incident this year when Hunters International garnered notoriety for seizing control of the Hive ransomware from its original operators.
Notably, on November 22, the Hunters International ransomware group shifted its focus to the Crystal Lake Health Center, a healthcare facility based in the USA. Known for audaciously targeting organizations, the hacking group claims access to a substantial 137.6 gigabytes of sensitive data from the healthcare facility.
The cybercriminals boldly declared their responsibility for the cyberattack through a dark web posting, further emphasizing the group’s brazen approach to their illicit activities.
As the L’Azienda USL di Modena Regional Health Service navigates the aftermath of the alleged breach, the cybersecurity landscape faces heightened scrutiny.
Organizations worldwide are urged to reinforce their digital defenses against the evolving tactics of cyber adversaries, emphasizing the importance of proactive measures to safeguard sensitive information and maintain the integrity of critical services.
