The Paraguay military is warning of Black Hunt ransomware attacks after Tigo Business suffered a cyberattack last week impacting cloud and hosting services in the company's business division.

"On January 4, we were victims of a security incident in our Tigo Business Paraguay infrastructure as a service, which has affected the normal supply of some specific services to a limited group of clients in the corporate segment." reads a statement from Tigo Business.

While Tigo did not provide any details regarding the cyberattack, numerous reports on social media indicate that they suffered an attack by the Black Hunt ransomware operation.

The next day, Paraguay's General Directorate of Information and Communication Technologies of the Armed Forces of Paraguay issued an alert warning companies in the country of Black Hunt ransomware attacks.

The Black Hunt ransomware operation launched at the end of 2022 when cybersecurity researchers began reporting attacks.

While the ransom notes claim that the hackers steal data during attacks, there have not been any known instances of the ransomware operation leaking stolen data.
