Today ALPHV ransomware group threatened Highland Health Systems, a community mental healthcare center in Anniston, Alabama. They claim to have stolen 1.8TB of data

They state they will be calling patients and staff members via the telephone.

Why harass the mentally ill?

The facility helps children who are victims of abuse, adults who battle with substance abuse, individuals who are mentally handicapped (or disabled) and are unable to care for themselves.

They also work with schools, crisis response, and families.

Why harass these people?

An unknown individual used artificial intelligence to create a short film with the central theme being 'ducks'. All visuals and audio were AI generated.

It is a nightmare come alive.

Our deepest condolences to the friends, family, and colleagues of Mr. Kevin Mitnick.

Although some people had a negative opinion of Mr. Mitnick, please do not forget he was a Husband, a Father, a Brother and a Son.

Pancreatic cancer is terrible. He battled with it for 14 months.

Rest in Peace.
