Evaly E-commerce Platform Allegedly Hacked

In February, attacks on healthcare providers and state/local governments increased, based on data collected by Recorded Future from various sources including extortion sites, government agencies, news reports, and hacking forums.

A hack targeted Change Healthcare, causing disruptions for pharmacies and hospitals. The BlackCat/Alphv group is responsible and has attempted an exit scam. Law enforcement tried to stop the cybercrime gang in December.

“I think one of the big things we saw in February was the re-emergence of ALPHV after the takedown. Their numbers were way down, compared to before [the takedown], but they were trying to make a comeback,” said Allan Liska, a Recorded Future ransomware expert who helps track and analyze the data.

“I think we’re staring to see that takedowns, especially large ones, do have a temporary dampening effect, but ransomware remains resilient. After the LockBit takedown and the ALPHV implosion, the next few months will be interesting to watch,” Lisa added.

In August, the FBI stopped the Qakbot ransomware gang and eliminated the ransomware from infected devices.

In late 2023, law enforcement shut down the Ragnar Locker ransomware site in an international operation. At the same time, Ukrainian hackers claimed to have wiped the servers of the Trigona ransomware gang, which was allegedly linked to Russia.
