RIPE NCC, the regional Internet registry for Europe, West Asia, and the former Soviet Union, said attackers attempted a credential-stuffing attack against its single-sign on service.

Regional internet registry RIPE NCC is warning of a credential-stuffing attack against its single sign-on service, RIPE NCC Access, and is encouraging users to implement two-factor authentication.

Located in Amsterdam, the Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre is the regional internet registry for Europe, Western Asia and the former Soviet Union.

What is RIPE NCC? A regional internet registry is an organization that manages the registration of internet number resources within various regions worldwide.

RIPE NCC is one of five regional internet registries providing internet resource allocations and registration services, which together support the internet globally.

In the case of the credential-stuffing attack against RIPE NCC, "The data that could be exposed are internet sources such as IP addresses allocated to internet providers, hosting providers and organizations," Niamh Muldoon, global data protection officer with OneLogin, told Threatpost.
