"Ransomware Group Claims Cyberattack on Frontier Communications"

The RansomHub ransomware group recently claimed responsibility for the April 2024 cyberattack on telecommunications giant Frontier Communications.  In an April filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Frontier revealed that the intrusion was identified on April 14 and resulted in certain systems being shut down to contain the attack.  The ransomware group claims to have stolen information, including names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, and credit scores of more than two million Frontier customers.  RansomHub has published a screenshot as proof of possession and threatens to sell it to anyone interested or share it publicly within ten days.  RansomHub is a relatively new ransomware group that came to fame in April when it added UnitedHealth Group’s subsidiary Change Healthcare to its leak site.
