Ransomware Rogues: Radiant Group’s Dubious Debut Continues with Hospital Target
Radiant Group, the new kids on the ransomware block, have moved from preschools to hospitals, hitting a Minnesota facility and giving it seven days to comply with extortion demands. While children are off-limits after a scolding from a rival gang, hospitals are seemingly fair game for these cyber crooks.
Hot Take:
Radiant Group, the ransomware rookies, are redefining the term “problem children” by targeting vulnerable sectors like preschools and hospitals. Their decision-making skills are about as sound as a toddler’s logic. Someone needs to remind them that just because they’ve graduated from sandbox antics to hospital heists doesn’t mean they should play doctor with sensitive data!
Key Points:
– Radiant Group has targeted a Minnesota hospital with ransomware, adding it to their data leak site.
– They previously attacked Kido Schools, leaking sensitive data, but later removed it after criticism.
– The Nova group publicly reprimanded Radiant for targeting children, prompting them to delete the data.
– Radiant claims to have a policy now against attacking organizations involving children.
– Despite their attempts at damage control, Radiant’s attack vector remains pointed at vulnerable sectors.
