Oklahoma Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes say ransomware disrupted tribal systems - DataBreaches.Net

"The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma say a ransomware attack forced them to shut down tribal computer networks, disrupting email and phone service and temporarily suspending some operations as systems are restored and investigators work the case. Tribal Gov. Reggie Wassana said in a statement that the tribes were "targeted by a ransomware attack" and that operations were temporarily suspended while officials responded and began recovery."

"Ransomware tracking sites also listed the tribes as a victim claimed by the Rhysida ransomware group, but the tribes and federal authorities have not publicly confirmed any attribution. The tribes did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on the Rhysida claim. The current operational impact was not fully clear. As of today, Rhysida listed the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes on its auction page, with a price of 10 BTC and 6 days left on the auction clock."
