FULL STORY

OnSolve, a cloud-based critical-event and mass-notification platform, 
suffered a highly disruptive cyberattack recently which forced it to sunset
its legacy CodeRED environment and move to a new version, as well as losing
sensitive data and even a business customer. 

OnSolve is a service that helps organizations send urgent alerts and
communications via SMS, phone, email, push notifications and more. It is used
by state and local governments, the police, and other emergency services.
CodeRED is the platform that enables this service. 

Crisis24, the company behind OnSolve and CodeRED, recently notified its
customers about a targeted attack by an organized cybercriminal group, in
which it said that data associated with the legacy OnSolve CodeRED platform
was removed from our systems. It stressed that there is no evidence the data
was published online, but added that there is a strong possibility that it
might leak. 

FBI was notified

It appears that the impacted dataset may contain contact information of
OnSolve CodeRED users: name, address, email address, phone numbers, and/or
associated passwords used to create user profiles for alerts, the 
notification reads. 

If the same password is used by users for any other personal or business
accounts, those passwords should be changed immediately. 

The attack forced Crisis24 to rebuild its service via backup. However, since
the backup is more than six months old, the accounts and data generated in 
the meantime seem to be lost for good. 

The attack was claimed by a ransomware operator known as INC Ransom which
created a new entry on its Tor data leak site, and added screenshots showing
OnSolve customer data. 

At the same time, the Douglas County Sheriffs Office and the Douglas County
911 Board decided to cut all ties with CodeRED and look for a replacement. 

Our top priority is the privacy and protection of our citizens, which led to
the decision to end our agreement with CodeRED, it said in a press release.
