Ryuk Ransomware Keeps Targeting Hospitals During the Pandemic

The Ryuk Ransomware operators to continue to target hospitals even as these organizations are overwhelmed during the Coronavirus pandemic. Of the seven ransomware operators I contacted, only Maze and DoppelPaymer responded that they would no longer target hospitals. Maze has released the data stolen from a drug testing company that was encrypted before stating they would not target healthcare. They continue to tell BleepingComputer that they will not encrypt hospitals or other healthcare organizations during the pandemic. Of these ten targets, two are independent hospitals and another is a healthcare network of 9 hospitals.
