US companies reported being attacked by the BianLian ransomware gang

As reported by The Cyber ​​​​Express, US-based nonprofit Better Business Bureau and skincare provider US Dermatology Partners admitted to being compromised by the BianLian ransomware operation.

BianLian claimed to have exfiltrated 1.2 TB of data from BBB’s systems, including accounting, financial and budget information, as well as operational and business files, contract data and non-disclosure agreements, CFO computer files, and email and PST archives, exposing confidential information of the nonprofit’s executives. On the other hand, US Dermatology Partners had 300 GB of data allegedly exfiltrated by the ransomware gang. The compromised data included personal information, financial information, accounting data, budget information, employee profiles, contracts and non-disclosure agreements, according to BianLian. Neither BBB nor US Dermatology Partners have confirmed or denied BianLian’s claims. This development comes after BianLian, which switched to exfiltration-based extortion last year, claimed attacks on KC Pharmaceuticals, North Star Accounting, Martinaire Aviation, MOOver and Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine.
