Universitas Nasional compromised in ransomware attack

Indonesian university Universitas Nasional was compromised with credential theft and external attack surface exposure listed on ransomware.live.
Universitas Nasional, an Indonesian higher-education institution, appears as a victim listing on ransomware.live, a public tracking site that indexes ransomware operator disclosures. The breach involved compromise of multiple employee accounts: 4 employees with full system compromise, 1,842 user accounts with credential exposure, and 38 third-party employee credentials. Attackers also identified 104 points on the victim's external attack surface, indicating reconnaissance of internet-facing systems and services.
This listing suggests credential theft and reconnaissance activity consistent with initial-access operations that precede ransomware deployment. The disclosure of external attack surface details is typical of operators preparing for or following lateral movement and privilege escalation. Defenders at similar institutions should treat this as a signal to audit employee credentials, monitor for lateral movement, and harden externally-facing services.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries its extracted indicators, its detections (Splunk SPL already written, plus Elastic and Microsoft KQL where they apply), the actors and CVEs it names as live profiles, and the vendor research on the same campaign — the primary source the news paraphrased, cited and read directly.
It sits in a corpus of 13,854 reports from 146 sources, 616 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them — about forty a week that are yours, not the four hundred that are not.
