Serenity Homes Ransomware Attack: A Threat to Healthcare Services

Serenity Homes, an exclusive dealer of high-quality manufactured homes, has recently fallen victim to a ransomware attack by the group known as Sabbath. This incident was disclosed on the group's dark web leak site. Serenity Homes is recognized for its comprehensive services in the Healthcare Services sector, aiding customers throughout the home buying journey, including aspects of construction and development.

While the specific size and market stance of Serenity Homes remain undisclosed, it is acknowledged as a licensed contracting entity proficient in managing all facets of on-site development, from obtaining permits to conducting final inspections. The precise vulnerabilities that led to this cybersecurity breach have not been detailed, yet the implications of such attacks in the healthcare domain can be profound, especially when they hinder access to critical patient medical records.

For example, a technology firm offering services to over 100 nursing home companies and long-term post-acute care facilities experienced a ransomware attack, resulting in several locations losing access to patient records, internet services, employee payroll, and medication ordering capabilities.

The potential vulnerabilities of Serenity Homes could mirror those commonly found in the healthcare sector, including inadequate password policies, human errors, or data theft. Details regarding the company's response to the ransomware attack and its recovery efforts have not been provided.

Information about the Sabbath ransomware group, including their tactics or motives, remains scant in public domain searches.

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.
