National Guard Investigates Cyberattack on Raleigh Housing Authority

“The National Guard cyber security team is investigating after a cyberattack shut down computer systems and business operations at the Raleigh Housing Authority. The system serves almost 6,000 residents in Raleigh. The RHA said it noticed the breach Thursday morning when several workers reported being locked out of their computer system.

"We immediately notified state and federal authorities, met with Emergency Management, and currently have the National Guard cyber security team on-site investigating any potential data breach," RHA CEO Ashley Lommers-Johnson said. The agency said it is taking the appropriate steps to update information for anyone affected by the attack. Residents are still able to submit maintenance needs through a work-order calling line.

"We are taking all appropriate actions to identify the threat actors, determine which systems were penetrated and return to regular business operations," Lommers-Johnson said.

Recent Ransomware Attacks

The Recent Ransomware Attacks (RRA) site acts as a watchtower, providing you with near real-time ransomware tracking of attacks, groups and their victims. Given threat actors’ overarching, lucrative success so far, ransomware attacks have become the most ubiquitous, and financially and informationally impactful cyber threat to businesses and organizations today.

The site’s data is generated based on hosting choices of real-world threat actors, and a handful of other trackers. While sanitization efforts have been taken, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy of the data. Attack updates will be made as source data is reported by reputable sources. By viewing, accessing, or using RRA you acknowledge you are doing so at your own risk.
