Based on the meeting notes, it appears that the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) was targeted in a cyberattack, resulting in service disruptions and potential data breach. The attack affected services such as the ARRL Learning Center and the Logbook of the World. The ARRL informed its members of this “serious incident” and confirmed that their database includes member information like name, address, call sign, and membership dates, but does not store credit card information or collect social security numbers. It has not been explicitly stated that the member database was accessed by the hackers, but the statement suggests it’s a possibility. There’s also a mention of SecurityWeek reaching out to ARRL to inquire if this was a ransomware attack and whether any ransom demand was made.
