Switzerland says a ransomware attack on the non-profit health foundation Radix that involved data being stolen and encrypted had also affected the federal administration.
The Radix Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation active in the field of health promotion, has been the victim of a ransomware attack, it was confirmed on Monday. The criminals stole and encrypted data, which they then published on the darknet.
The foundation contacted the National Cybersecurity Centre (NCSC) after carrying out an initial analysis of the situation, it announced on Monday. Radix’s clientele also includes various administrative units of the federal administration.
The aim is to determine which services and data are actually affected by the cyber attack. At no time were the hackers able to penetrate the systems of the federal administration, as the Radix Foundation itself does not have such direct access, the centre pointed out.
L'administration fédérale doit avoir son propre service en nuage souverain. Suivant le National, le Conseil des Etats a accepté jeudi à l'unanimité un crédit de 246,9 millions de francs pour le "Swiss Governement Cloud" (SGC).
The team at CYFIRMA analyzed a malicious Android sample designed to target high-value assets in Southern Asia. This sample, attributed to an unknown threat actor, was generated using the Spynote Remote Administration Tool. While the specifics of the targeted asset remain confidential, it is likely that such a target would attract the interest of APT groups. However, we are restricted from disclosing further details about the actual target and its specific region. For a comprehensive analysis, please refer to the detailed report
