ARRL Data Breach Hits Sour Note: Amateur Radio Group Confirms Employee Data Stolen by Cyber Bandits

When hackers tuned into the ARRL’s frequency, they hit more than just static. Data from 150 employees got swiped in a May ransomware gig. ARRL’s singing the blues, offering free ID monitoring. No proof of misuse yet, but they’re playing it safe—no solos for identity…

Hot Take:

Well, it looks like the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) hit a bit of static on their frequencies, and by static, I mean a sophisticated ransomware attack that left them reaching for the proverbial tin foil hats. They've confirmed that the cyber pirates snagged some employee data, and not in the 'argh, matey' fun kind of way. ARRL assures us they've done everything but send out an SOS in Morse code to keep that data from going on a world tour. So, let’s unpack this digital heist that's got less horsepower than a ham radio but more punch than a mic drop.
