Security News > 2022 > September > Hive ransomware claims attack on New York Racing Association
The Hive ransomware operation claimed responsibility for an attack on the New York Racing Association, which previously disclosed that a cyber attack on June 30, 2022, impacted IT operations and website availability and compromised member data.
NYRA is the operator of the three largest thoroughbred horse racing tracks in New York, namely the Aqueduct Racetrack, the Belmont Park, and the Saratoga Race Course.
From what seems to be the case, horse racing hasn't been impacted by the incident because there have been no changes in the calendar, and race betting continues as usual.
The association's website remains out of reach, which sends the message that the effects of the attack haven't been wholly mitigated yet.
Yesterday, the Hive ransomware gang took responsibility for the attack on NYRA by listing them as a victim on their extortion site.
Hive is currently among the most active high-tier ransomware gangs, recently hitting Bell Canada and the Damart clothing store chain, while announcing several more victims that haven't publicly admitted a security incident.
