The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) suffered a cyber attack that disrupted its IT systems and online operations. While it is unknown if it was a ransomware attack, the ARRL reassured users that no social security numbers were compromised. However, the attackers did gain access to email addresses and names, which could be used for phishing and identity theft. The ARRL plays a crucial role in maintaining communication lines through hand radios, making them important in times of crisis. It is important not to pay ransomware demands as it only emboldens attackers and can lead to further threats.
