It’s a new threat but federal cybersecurity officials say they are concerned by the group’s apparent willingness to attack health organizations.
Federal cybersecurity officials are warning about a new ransomware group that could be an emerging threat to the health sector.
The group has an ominous name, NoEscape, and operates as a ransomware-as-a-service group, offering its services to other bad actors, according to an advisory from the Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordinating Center, dubbed HC3.
NoEscape first emerged in May, and it has targeted a number of industries, including the health sector. While officials say the group has only targeted two health organizations, they add that it’s a worrisome sign that they are willing to go after the health sector.
