Group behind cyber attacks at local hospitals taken down by FBI.
A criminal ransomware network connected to a cyber attack at some of Connecticut’s hospitals has been taken down by the FBI.
The recent cyber attack on some of Connecticut’s hospitals was an alarming wake-up call for many organizations. The attack compromised the security of thousands of patients’ personal information and put their data at risk. Fortunately, the FBI was able to take down the criminal ransomware network responsible for the attack.
The FBI has been working diligently to investigate the attack and identify the source. The hackers had been using a malicious program to encrypt files on the computers of the hospitals, preventing them from being accessed by ransomware attacks.
The FBI was able to take down the network and put an end to the attack. They have also been able to recover some of the data that had been encrypted by the hackers. While the full extent of the attack is still unknown, it is clear that this was a serious breach of security and a reminder of the importance of cyber security.
Organizations need to be aware of the threat of cyber attacks and take steps to protect their data. This includes investing in cyber security measures such as firewalls, antivirus software, and secure data backups. Additionally, organizations should always be vigilant and monitor their networks for any suspicious activity.
The FBI’s successful takedown of the criminal ransomware network is a positive step in the fight against cyber crime. It is a reminder that there are those in law enforcement who are working hard to keep us safe from these attacks.
