"Ring Denies Falling Victim to Ransomware Attack"

In response to a cybercrime group’s claim, home security firm Ring announced that it has no evidence that it has fallen victim to a ransomware attack.  Founded in 2013 and acquired by Amazon in 2018, Ring started with a smart doorbell and later expanded its portfolio with an alarm system and other smart home security products.  On Monday, the cybergang behind the Alphv ransomware added an entry to their leaks site claiming they breached Ring and threatened to release data supposedly stolen from the company.  The entry does not provide details on the amount or type of data that might have been compromised.  Also tracked as BlackCat and Noberus and written in the Rust programming language, the Alphv ransomware family was first seen in November 2021.  Its operators are likely linked to the previously known cybercrime ring behind the Darkside/Blackmatter ransomware.
