BlackCat ransomware gang claims attack on Ultra Intelligence and Communications

The BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware group, has reportedly launched a cyberattack on Ultra Intelligence and Communications, a US company specializing in intelligence and communication technologies.

The alleged attack occurred on December 27, 2023, and subsequently, Ultra Intelligence and Communications’ website was listed on the dark web. The full extent of the cyberattack and the specific demands of the ALPHV group are not clear.
