Vice Society Uses Inc Ransomware in Healthcare Attack

The Russian-speaking group Vice Society, also known as Vanilla Tempest, is exploiting ransomware to target US healthcare organizations. Active since July 2022, the group has been using various types of ransomware to conduct double extortion attacks. The group recently started utilizing Inc ransomware, marking a shift in its strategy. Healthcare is a prime target due to the high value of medical data and the sector’s often outdated legacy technology.
