On February 15, RansomHub claimed to have executed a significant ransomware attack on the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, affecting various infrastructures including casinos and health centers. They reported acquiring 119 GB of files and criticized the tribe for not engaging in negotiations, stating that the lack of communication highlighted negligence towards the personal data of the tribespeople. RansomHub also blamed the tribe's insurance providers for not acting promptly. They issued a threat to leak sensitive data if their demands weren't met by Wednesday.
We waited an entire week for Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians to engage in negotiations, but no communication was initiated. This demonstrates a blatant disregard for the personal data of their residents.
Typically conduct an investigation and engage in negotiations to prevent data leaks and mitigate damage. However, in this case, they failed to act, allowing the situation to escalate further.
