JC White Ransomware Attack: A Cybersecurity Threat in the Business Services Sector
JC White, a Florida-based commercial interior design and furniture company, has been targeted by the ransomware group Clop. The attack was announced on the group's dark web leak site, and the victim's website is JC White. Operating in the Business Services sector for 40 years, JC White stands as one of the oldest contract furniture dealerships in South Florida.
The company's website showcases a range of services, including commercial interior design, commercial office furniture, and COVID-19-related products and services. The specific vulnerabilities that led to JC White being targeted by threat actors are not detailed in available search results. Nonetheless, the company's longstanding operation and its presence in the frequently targeted Business Services sector likely made it an appealing target for cybercriminals.
The Clop ransomware group, known for targeting various sectors including healthcare, has been implicated in attacks on hospitals and other critical organizations. The Justice Department's recent disruption of the Hive ransomware group, which affected over 1,500 victims including hospitals, is part of a broader initiative by the Biden administration to counter the surge in ransomware attacks. These attacks have impacted critical sectors such as healthcare, government, and education, underscoring the persistent threat of cybercrime to businesses across different industries.
Companies must prioritize vigilance and the implementation of comprehensive cybersecurity measures to safeguard against such threats.

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.
