A ransomware attack has hit the OnSolve CodeRED emergency alert platform, disrupting services across various cities and counties in the U.S. The attack, attributed to the Inc Ransom group, has left many local governments unable to send critical emergency notifications related to public safety events like floods, chemical spills, and bomb threats. As a result, several jurisdictions have issued alerts to inform the public about the service interruption.
The breach not only caused operational disruptions but also led to a potential data leak involving user information from the CodeRED platform. The company confirmed that some of this data has been published online following the attack. OnSolve has responded by notifying affected customers and advising users to change passwords, especially if they reused them across other accounts. The company has decommissioned the legacy CodeRED system and is transitioning users to a new platform, aiming to restore emergency notification capabilities.
Ongoing forensic analysis suggests that the attack was contained and did not spread beyond the CodeRED environment. Law enforcement is involved, and the investigation continues. This incident underscores the persistent threat of cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure, raising concerns about the security of systems that support public safety.
