National Kidney Registry allegedly hacked by DireWolf ransomware group
National Kidney Registry has been compromised by the DireWolf ransomware group, which emerged in May 2025 and has targeted over 100 organizations. DireWolf uses double-extortion tactics, encrypting files and threatening to leak data unless victims pay ransom.
Why it matters: Healthcare organizations managing sensitive transplant and patient data face exposure of personal information and operational disruption; security teams should assess their defenses against ransomware attacks targeting the healthcare sector.
