Feds Warn Healthcare Providers About ‘Obscure’ Ransomware Gang

siteadmin June 20, 2023

The US Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center (HC3) has warned healthcare providers about the cybercriminal group TimisoaraHackerTeam (THT), which targets the healthcare sector. THT, suspected of origin in Romania, uses legitimate software tools including BitLocker and BestCrypt to encrypt victims’ data and demand ransom. The attacks, which have included a US cancer center and an Israeli hospital, breach the unwritten hacker code of conduct where healthcare providers are not targeted.
