Royal Ransomware Gang Targets City of Dallas
The Royal ransomware gang has claimed the City of Dallas as a victim, disrupting critical services including 911 dispatch systems.
“There is no effect to 911 calls at this time, and they continue to be dispatched for service. The outage is not affecting police response,” DPD spokesperson Melinda Gutierrez told TechCrunch.
Multiple municipal websites are down, with the City of Dallas website displaying a message that “the City is experiencing a service outage and is working to restore services,” and the city confirmed that the municipal courts were closed as a result of the attack.
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.
