About the Redransomware group

Red Ransomware (Red CryptoApp) emerged in early 2024, debuting its "Wall of Shame" data leak site with 11 victims across IT, legal, hospitality, manufacturing, and education sectors predominantly in the US, using phishing and vulnerability exploitation with double-extortion tactics. Redransomware has listed 16 victims since March 2024.

Incident Analysis

Baystate.edu was targeted by Redransomware ransomware, one of the most active ransomware groups in our database with 16 confirmed victims globally. The attack was disclosed on March 28, 2024, when Baystate.edu appeared on the group's dark web leak site.

Baystate.edu is based in United States , operating in the Healthcare sector. United States ranks #1 globally for ransomware attacks, with 9,442 victims in our database.

Sector context: Healthcare organisations are high-value ransomware targets because patient data is extremely sensitive, regulatory penalties for breaches are severe, and operational downtime can threaten patient safety — all factors that increase ransom payment pressure.

Redransomware typically employs a double extortion model: first exfiltrating sensitive data from the victim's systems, then deploying ransomware to encrypt files. Victims face two simultaneous threats — paying to restore access and paying to prevent publication of stolen data. The group's leak site publishes victim names and exfiltrated data as leverage.

Data source: This incident record is sourced from public ransomware group leak site disclosures aggregated via the ransomware.live API. Disclosure date reflects when the victim was published on the leak site, which may differ from the initial date of compromise. This platform does not publish or link to stolen data.
