Who is the Black Basta Ransomware Group?

The Black Basta ransomware group, known for its ruthless tactics, has been responsible for various high-profile attacks, including the recent outage at the Toronto Public Library.

The government of Chile has also issued a warning regarding potential ransomware attacks by this group, following a cyber incident involving its customs department.

Black Basta gained notoriety in early 2022 for its double extortion strategy. In addition to deploying ransomware, the group infiltrates sensitive data and operates a cybercrime marketplace, threatening to publicly release the information if the victim fails to pay the ransom.

The group’s initial targets numbered at least 20 within its first two weeks of operation, indicating a high level of expertise in ransomware attacks.

Black Basta’s extensive targeting of the health and public health sector in 2022 highlights its threat to critical infrastructure. The group exclusively focused on U.S.-based organizations, seeking network access credentials.

These attacks not only impacted the websites of various health-related entities but also resulted in the theft of substantial amounts of personally identifiable information (PII), potentially jeopardizing the safety and security of individuals.
