Security News > 2022 > June > Vice Society claims ransomware attack on Med. University of Innsbruck
The Vice Society ransomware gang has claimed responsibility for last week's cyberattack against the Medical University of Innsbruck, which caused severe IT service disruption and the alleged theft of data.
The research university has 3,400 students and 2,200 employees and offers extensive medical care services, including surgeries.
In the days that followed, the university gradually restored its online services and returned operations to its main site, which had previously been initially taken offline.
Yesterday, Vice Society added the Medical University of Innsbruck to its data leak site, leaking an extensive list of documents allegedly stolen during last week's cyberattack.
Bleeping Computer has contacted the Medical University of Innsbruck to validate if the IT disruption is linked to the alleged ransomware attack, and we will update this post as soon as we receive a response.
Other victims listed recently on the Vice Society onion site include a college in the UK, a hospital in Italy, and two universities in the UK. This makes the Medical University of Innsbruck the fifth disclosed European victim of Vice in the past month.
