The Royal Ransomware is claiming to have infiltrated public school management and virtual learning provider Edison Learning, posting on its dark web data leak site on Wednesday, April 26, that it had stolen 20GB of the company’s data “including personal information of employees and students” and threatening to post the data “early next week.”
The FBI, CISA and HHS have all recently issued warnings about the dangers associated with the Royal Ransomware gang. Since approximately September of last year, cybercriminals have been using a Royal ransomware variant to compromise organizations across the U.S., many of which have been healthcare providers.
