The **INC ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) gang** targeted **OnSolve’s CodeRED platform**, a critical emergency notification system used by **multiple U.S. state/local governments, police, and fire departments**. The cyberattack disrupted **real-time alerts for emergencies**, compromising public safety communication infrastructure. Authorities relying on CodeRED for **severe weather warnings, Amber Alerts, evacuation notices, and other life-saving notifications** faced **operational paralysis**, delaying response times and potentially endangering lives. The attack underscored vulnerabilities in **third-party risk management firms** whose platforms underpin government services. While the full scope of data exfiltration remains undisclosed, the **outage itself posed a direct threat to public safety systems**, aligning with high-severity cyber incidents targeting **critical infrastructure**. The incident also risks **erosion of public trust** in emergency response mechanisms, with potential long-term reputational and legal repercussions for OnSolve and its parent company, Crisis24.
