Aztec Software hit by direwolf ransomware
Free public brief. The indicators, the detections with Splunk SPL already written (plus Elastic and KQL where they apply), and a Slack alert the next time this touches a vendor you run are in the app — free account, no card.
Direwolf ransomware operators claim compromise of Aztec Software with 941 exposed user credentials and 22 external attack surface exposures.
Ransomware.live, a platform that indexes publicly disclosed ransomware incidents, reports that Aztec Software has been compromised by the direwolf ransomware operation. The incident resulted in exposure of 941 user credentials and identification of 22 external attack surface exposures within the victim's infrastructure. No compromised employee accounts were directly noted, but the scale of credential exposure suggests potential for lateral movement and further compromise. The direwolf group has posted this incident on public ransomware leak sites, indicating data exfiltration and extortion demand. Defenders should treat this as confirmation that Aztec Software infrastructure was breached and data was stolen; any organization using Aztec Software services or integrations should assess whether their own credentials or data passed through affected systems.

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.
