The Ragnar Locker ransomware gang has claimed responsibility for an attack on Israel's Mayanei Hayeshua hospital, threatening to leak 1 TB of data allegedly stolen during the cyberattack.
Yesterday, security researcher MalwareHunterTeam noted that the Ragnar Locker ransomware group claimed responsibility for the attack, creating a new page for the hospital on their data leak site.
The entry on the data leak site contains a message from the threat actors, claiming that they did not encrypt devices due to the victim being a hospital but did steal data from the organization.
"First of all, we want to emphasize that since this is a medical institution - we didn't run any encryption to avoid equipment malfunctions, or necessary instruments," reads the Ragnar Locker data leak site.
In a Mayanei Hayeshua ransom note from the attack seen by BleepingComputer, the threat actors claim that they stole 1TB of data, including a SQL database and emails.
BleepingComputer contacted Mayanei Hayeshua to confirm if the stolen data belonged to their organization but did not receive a response.
