Narragansett Bay Commission
Exploit: Ransomware
Risk to Business: 2.783 = Moderate
The Narragansett Bay Commission has been hit with a ransomware attack. The utility runs sewer systems in parts of the Providence and Blackstone Valley areas in Rhode Island. A spokesperson for the company said that the company experiences the encryption of data on some computers and systems in its network. However, service was not interrupted, and the utility does not store customer payment data. No word on what data was stolen or if the Narragansett Bay Commission paid a ransom.
Individual Impact: No information about consumer/employee PII, PHI or financial data exposure was available at press time.
