The **INC ransomware-as-a-service gang** targeted **OnSolve’s CodeRED platform**, a critical emergency notification system used by **multiple U.S. state and local governments, police, and fire departments**. The cyberattack disrupted emergency alert capabilities, preventing timely dissemination of life-saving notifications during crises. Authorities relying on CodeRED for **public safety warnings, evacuation orders, and emergency response coordination** faced severe operational disruptions. The attack not only compromised the platform’s functionality but also exposed vulnerabilities in **government-dependent infrastructure**, raising concerns about the broader impact on **public safety and crisis management**. While the full extent of data exposure remains unclear, the incident underscores the **high-risk nature of ransomware targeting essential services**, where delays in emergency communications could have **direct consequences on human safety and critical response efforts**. The attack was publicly claimed by the threat actors, amplifying reputational and operational damage to OnSolve and its government clients.
