The notorious RansomHouse ransomware group has struck again, targeting two new victims and adding them to their dark web portal. Among the entities allegedly compromised in this RansomHouse ransomware cyberattack are Webber International University and GCA Nederland.
The claims were added last week where the threat actors have shared the dates of the intrusion. According to its post, the GCA Nederland cyberattack was initiated on February 12, 2024. The Webber International University cyberattack on the other hand was added on January 20, 2024.
RansomHouse Ransomware Cyberattack: Two New Victims Added
The first alleged victim on this list, Webber International University, is renowned for its distinction as one of “America’s Best Value Colleges’ and its diverse student body representing over 48 nations.
Despite its esteemed reputation, Webber International University faced a grave threat as the threat actor encrypted its data last month. The cybercriminals brazenly demanded action from the university, cautioning against the leakage or sale of confidential data to third parties.
Similarly, GCA Nederland, an important component of the pan-European logistics provider Groupe Charles Andre, found itself targeted by the RansomHouse ransomware group. Specializing in the transportation of goods and offering comprehensive services to streamline logistics, GCA Nederland encountered the RansomHouse ransomware attack last month.
Similar RansomHouse Ransomware Attacks
The Cyber Express has reached out to both Webber International University and GCA Nederland regarding the purported cyberattack orchestrated by the RansomHouse ransomware group. However, at the time of writing this, no official statements or responses have been received, leaving the claims of the RansomHouse ransomware cyberattack on these entities unverified.
Despite the threats posed by the RansomHouse ransomware group, the websites of Webber International University and GCA Nederland remained operational, showing no immediate signs of the cyberattack. This suggests a stealthy infiltration targeting the databases rather than overt disruptions to the front-end interfaces through DDoS attacks or defacements.
The incident involving Webber International University and GCA Nederland cyberattack echoes similar cybersecurity incidents faced by Banco Promerica in the past. The financial institution grappled with the fallout of a data breach, initially brought to light by RansomHouse in December and further highlighted by the Snatch ransomware group’s listing of the institution on January 11th.
