THE Qilin ransomware group claimed to have attacked the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). However, the ATF has reported that the affected system was standalone and separate from its main enterprise network, indicating no disruption to its operations. The ATF took immediate action by terminating connections to the affected environment and is working with the Department of Justice to investigate the incident, which has been designated a major incident. The statement encourages anyone with information to report it via the ATF Tipline.
