Seattle Housing Authority allegedly compromised by ransomware gang

Posted on October 12, 2023 by Dissent

The NoEscape ransomware site claims to have successfully compromised the Seattle Housing Authority (SHA). In a post on their leak site, they claim to have encrypted the SHA’s main servers and exfiltrated 158 GB of data.

” we have 400,000 confidential files,” they claim, including, they write:

Confidential Privacy Act Data!
Confidential agreements and contracts, NDA
Passports, ID cards, driver’s licenses, SSN Cards!
Audit, accounting, developman project, HR, account payble!
Client data and data of more than 150 PCs of employees were completely stolen!
Tens of thousands of scanned documents, insurance, letters, certificates, backups, analytics, reports, invoices, banking, taxes, finance, budget, and hundreds of thousands of other confidential and private data.

No proof of claims is provided, however.

There is nothing on SHA’s website to suggest anything is amiss. DataBreaches has sent email inquiries to SHA’s head of Information Technology and their Legal department to ask if they can confirm or refute NoEscape’s claims. No reply was immediately received, but DataBreaches will update this post when a reply is received.
