Ransomware Attack on Recruitment AMBAU Personal Service GmbH
Recruitment AMBAU Personal Service GmbH, a German company specializing in personnel services, has been targeted by the ransomware group Lockbit2. The attack was announced on the group's dark web leak site, and the victim's website is accessible. The company operates in the Healthcare Services sector and has been in business for many years, providing personal services to various industries.
AMBAU Personal Service GmbH has a presence in several locations, including Ludwigsfelde, Wittenberg, and Jessen, and offers a range of services, including personal support, quick placement with employers, and specialized teams for demanding projects. The company's website provides contact information for its offices and offers a variety of services to both clients and potential employees.
The company's size and industry positioning make it a potential target for ransomware attacks. The healthcare sector is a common target due to the sensitive nature of the data it handles, and the company's reliance on digital systems for operations and communication increases its vulnerability to cyber threats.
The Lockbit2 ransomware group is known for its attacks on various industries, including healthcare, and has been active since at least 2020. The group operates using a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) model, where it provides its ransomware capabilities to other threat actors.
The attack on AMBAU Personal Service GmbH is a reminder of the ongoing threat of ransomware attacks on businesses, particularly those in sensitive industries. Companies must remain vigilant and implement robust cybersecurity measures to protect 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.
