“The cybercrime group that launched a devastating attack on the city of Oakland has taken credit for yet another breach of a local government — this time naming the Massachusetts city of Lowell as its latest victim. The city — home to more than 111,000 people and about a half hour drive from Boston — announced a “cyber-related incident” April 24 that disrupted its network and impacted “a variety of systems.” City officials said they decided to segment the affected technology but admitted that servers, networks, phones and other systems throughout the city became inaccessible. The city’s 911, fire and emergency phone systems were not affected by the attack. On Wednesday evening, the Play ransomware group took credit for the attack, claiming to have stolen an undisclosed amount of data that includes personal data, passports, government IDs, financial documents, budgets, departmental files and more. The gang said it would release the stolen data on May 10.”

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.
