Unapen, a Trusted Provider in the Software Sector, Targeted by Ransomware Group ALPHV
Unapen, a software solutions provider with over 30 years of experience, has been targeted by the ransomware group ALPHV. The attack was announced on the group's dark web leak site, claiming to have breached unapen.internal. Unapen specializes in software solutions, workflow/process automation, and IT/cybersecurity services, serving various sectors including financial services, non-profits, attorneys, educational institutions, healthcare, and manufacturing.
Unapen's website highlights their expertise in boosting profitability, improving employee productivity, and operational efficiency, streamlining internal systems, bolstering client service, and increasing client satisfaction. The company has been recognized as the Best IT Services Provider in Connecticut for 2022 and 2023.
The ransomware attack on Unapen is part of ALPHV's prolific operations, which have compromised over 1,000 entities as of September 2023. The group is known for its ransomware-as-a-service model, where affiliates use the group's malware and platform to carry out attacks and split the proceeds from successful ransomware and data extortions.
ALPHV has been linked to high-profile attacks, such as the September 2023 extortion attack on MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment. The group has also targeted critical infrastructure, including healthcare organizations, which have been encouraged by the group's administrators.
Unapen's vulnerabilities in being targeted by threat actors are not explicitly mentioned in the search results. However, the company's website does not provide information on their cybersecurity measures or certifications, which could be a potential area of improvement for a company that deals with sensitive data and systems.
