The CL0P Ransomware Gang Targets the NYC Bar Association

The CL0P ransomware gang has added the NYC Bar Association to their leak site today. As proof of claims, CL0P provided a screenshot of a portion of a file directory, redacted by DataBreaches. In addition to the above, CL0P also posted screenshots of passports for a number of individuals. Why the NYC Bar is in possession of those passports was not made clear on the leak site.

DataBreaches has sent an email inquiry to the NYC Bar Association asking them about CL0P’s claimed attack and whether they have made any notifications to regulators, employees, or individuals whose personal information was accessed or acquired, but no reply was immediately available.

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.
