Healthcare organizations a prime target for NoEscape ransomware, HHS warns

The US Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center has warned the healthcare and public health (HPH) sector about the potential threats from NoEscape, a ransomware group believed to have originated from the defunct Avaddon group. NoEscape is known for its triple-extortion approach and has been targeting various sectors since May. Its ransomware encryptors have shown substantial similarity to Avaddon’s, suggesting that former Avaddon members are now part of NoEscape.
