Ryuk ransomware hits 700 Spanish government labor agency offices

The systems of Spanish government agency for labor, SEPE, were taken down following a ransomware attack that hit more than 700 agency offices across Spain. The agency’s network systems were encrypted by Ryuk ransomware operators after the incident. The attack has caused hundreds of thousands of appointments made through the agency throughout Spain to be delayed, according to CSIF (the Central Sindical Independiente y de Funcionarios), a Spanish labor union of administration workers. The ransomware has also spread beyond SEPE’s workstations and has reached the agency’s remote working staff’s laptops.
