Roundup: Royal warning, RansomHouse strikes and DoppelPaymer assets seized

The FBI and European partners are cooperating on ransomware investigations related to patient fatalities. The Royal ransomware gang is actively targeting US hospitals and health systems, using tactics such as phishing and stolen VPN credentials. Barcelona hospitals are also facing the impacts of a new cyberattack. Meanwhile, Europol and other organizations are investigating suspects linked to the DoppelPaymer ransomware group, known for a double extortion scheme and major attacks on institutions such as the University Hospital in Düsseldorf.
