ALPHV Ransomware Strikes AUA

September 21, 2023
Reading Time: 1 min read
in Incidents

The American University of Antigua (AUA) has fallen victim to a cyberattack by the ALPHV ransomware group, a concerning incident that raises alarm within the educational sector. While AUA has not officially commented on the attack, it has been reported that the ransomware group left behind a detailed ransom note outlining extensive demands for payment.

Furthermore, the note also threatened to forward sensitive data to lawyers, potentially leading to legal actions against the university. ALPHV has not limited its attacks to AUA; it also targeted Al Ashram Contracting and uploaded documents allegedly from the AUA cyberattack.

The ALPHV ransomware group, also known as BlackCat, claimed to have gained access to AUA’s systems and exfiltrated sensitive and confidential data. This includes student data, which has not yet been publicly disclosed, raising concerns about potential data leaks and the resulting consequences. The group demanded a ransom from AUA, stating that failure to comply would lead to the release of exfiltrated data.

While the group assured that data would be deleted upon payment, the reliability of such promises from ransomware groups remains questionable, as many continue to demand further payments even after receiving the initial ransom. Educational institutions like AUA are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks, underscoring the need for robust cybersecurity measures in the sector.
