Richmond University Medical Center in New York suffered a ransomware attack. As of yesterday afternoon, local media there reported:
"RUMC said it is still operating with full services, including in its emergency department, continuing to admit patients and complete outpatient, inpatient and surgical services. 'As a result of our proactive containment measures, disruptions have been limited with the exception of overnight trauma and stroke services.' "
We have numerous accounts to share about how our organization was able to gain initial access to various fortune 100 companies using the ResultsCX network and credentials. Interestingly, these companies are completely unaware that we have accessed their PII data. Although we will not disclose any specific names at this time, we would like to inform everyone that we had Global Admin status with this company for half a year. As a form of retaliation, we also put a lock on their 60+ ESXi environments. I empathize with any company that utilizes their services, especially those within the healthcare industry in the United States. This serves as a final caution, as evidence and explicit accusations will be revealed in the coming days.
Over the past year, I’ve received dozens of spear #phishing/#smishing SMS text messages pretending to be from my employer’s CEO or another executive. Today I got my first one marked as an #iMessage (#Apple’s exclusive messaging service—the “blue bubbles” in your #iPhone Messages app).
This is pretty troubling—it means #scammers are getting past Apple’s defenses in addition to abusing the porous patchwork of SMS providers and networks.
@mttaggart It's not the Humana insurer that's in the U.S.
This is a different entity named Humana Group that offers individual and family care services, personal assistance, elderly care and special services housing in Nordic countries.
The interesting thing about this failed attack is that the new employee's email was compromised before he started this job and was then used to impersonate him. #cybersecurity
