Oregon DEQ won’t say if ransomware group took employee data in cyberattack

Posted on April 26, 2025 by Dissent

Gosia Wozniacka of Oregon Live reports:

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality on Friday declined to confirm or deny reports that a well-known ransomware group stole employee files in a recent cyberattack at the agency.

The department faced questions after several cybersecurity websites reported that ransomware group Rhysida is behind the cyberattack at the DEQ and has stolen and auctioned off the agency’s data, including sensitive employee information.

“DEQ is aware of these claims. They are still under investigation,” said DEQ spokesperson Lauren Wirtis.

As it has done in other cases, the Rhysida ransomware group commented publicly on its dark web leak site about the incident and the state’s response, or lack thereof. Their listing contains a number of screenshots depicting personal information and other files. Many of the screenshots are adequately blurred so as to make reading the information impossible, but some are not fully blurred or redacted and can be read. There are also links to parts of the data Rhysida has now seemingly leaked with the statement.

We tried to contact them, but they chose to ignore us. And now their files have been released.
They think their data hasn’t been stolen.
They’re sorely mistaken.
Over 2.5 terabytes of unique data. (SQL, employee data and more)
We tried to contact them, but they chose to ignore us. And now their files have been released.
