93GB of info feared pilfered in Montana by heartless crooks
Planned Parenthood of Montana's chief exec says the org is responding to a cyber-attack on its systems, and has drafted in federal law enforcement and infosec professionals to help investigate and rebuild its IT environment.
According to Martha Fuller, CEO and president of the US state's Planned Parenthood office, a network intrusion – or a"cybersecurity incident" as the org put it – was spotted on August 28. RansomHub claims to have snatched 93 GB of the organization's data, and says it will share it online in seven days unless the nonprofit pays. We should note: Nonprofits are not known for their deep pockets and ability to pay multi-million ransom demands.
"We are aware of the RansomHub post, and want to assure our community that we are taking this matter very seriously," Fuller said."We have reported this incident to federal law enforcement, and will support their investigation."The Planned Parenthood office security breach, however, happened a day before the FBI, CISA, and other US government agencies issued a security alert warning that RansomHub was aggressively targeting victims as recently as August.
