Direwolf ransomware operators claimed compromise of Chilean university hospital with 1633 user credentials exposed.

Ransomware.live has indexed a claim by direwolf ransomware operators that they have compromised Hospital Clínico Universidad de Chile. The incident involves exposure of 1633 user credentials and an external attack surface of 80 identified vulnerabilities or exposed services. The compromise suggests potential lateral movement capability and credential theft, typical precursors to ransomware deployment. Defenders at healthcare institutions should assume credential compromise for affected users and monitor for ransomware staging activity.

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, 614 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.
