ARRL is the national association for amateur radio in the United States, representing amateur radio interests to government regulatory bodies and promoting events and educational programs for enthusiasts around the country.

"We still don't know what they haven't told us and maybe it is important, maybe not," a member posted to the 'My ARRL Voice' Facebook group.

Today, the ARRL finally shared more details regarding the cyberattack, stating that it was conducted by a "Malicious international cyber group."

"On or around May 12, 2024, ARRL was the victim of a sophisticated network attack by a malicious international cyber group," reads a new update from the ARRL. "ARRL immediately involved the FBI and engaged with third party experts to investigate."

The ARRL has still not shared whether ransomware was involved and if data was stolen during the attack.

BleepingComputer contacted ARRL today with further questions about the attack.
