The INC ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) gang executed a cyberattack on **OnSolve’s CodeRED platform**, a critical emergency notification system used by **multiple U.S. state/local governments, police, and fire departments**. The attack disrupted emergency alerts, compromising public safety communications during crises. Authorities relying on CodeRED for real-time warnings (e.g., severe weather, active threats, or evacuation orders) faced delays or failures in disseminating life-saving information. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in third-party risk management infrastructure, where a single breach cascaded into systemic failures across dependent agencies. While no direct data theft was confirmed, the operational outage posed **immediate risks to public safety**, undermining trust in emergency response systems. The attack’s timing and target suggest a deliberate attempt to exploit high-impact infrastructure, aligning with ransomware groups’ growing focus on **critical public services** to maximize pressure for ransom payments.
