Planned Parenthood of Montana target of ransomware attack
Planned Parenthood of Montana says it discovered a data breach last week. The attackers may have already posted some info online.
Planned Parenthood president Martha Fuller says the attack was discovered on Aug. 28. She says her IT team immediately took security measures to mitigate the damage. Fuller says they’re investigating what information may have been taken.
The attackers are known as Ransom Hub and federal officials have warned that the group is targeting health care facilities. Planned Parenthood is aware that the group posted a file online allegedly containing data it took from the nonprofit.
Kaustubh Medhe with Cyble, a cyber threat intelligence & research firm, says Ransom Hub is a financially motivated group.
“The ransomware groups are interested in selling this data or extorting a ransom from the group to prevent them from suffering reputational damage,” said Medhe.
Other abortion providers have been victims of cyberattacks, including Planned Parenthood L.A. and the organization’s national website. Cybersecurity experts say these attacks can be both politically and financially motivated.
They worry that patients can suffer legal consequences if they live in states where abortion is criminalized or suffer personal attacks if their data is sold or released by attackers.

No. 9 Montana Western upsets No. 3 College of Idaho in Frontier Conference Clash – Victory Sports Network
DILLON, Mont. – In their first conference game of the season, The College of Idaho Yotes fell short against the University of Montana Western, losing 42-25 on Saturday at Bulldog Stadium.
Montana Western’s Michael Palandri had a standout performance, throwing for 398 yards and four touchdowns. He also added two on the ground. The Bulldogs built an early 14-0 lead in the first quarter, and despite a strong effort from the Yotes in the second half, the deficit proved too large to overcome. Bulldog wide receiver Dylan Shipley had nine receptions for 176 yards and 1 touchdown. Montana Western’s Keegen Muffich led the defense with 16 tackles, including 3.5 tackles for loss. Landon Charlton added 12 tackles.
Andy Peters led The College of Idaho offense, completing 23 of 44 passes for 267 yards and rushing for a touchdown. Peters also rushed for 75 yards on 16 attempts. Running back Caden Young found the end zone on a one-yard run in the second quarter, while Jackson Stampfli added a 49-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Kicker William Botch contributed a 19-yard field goal just before halftime.
The Yotes offense showed resilience, accumulating 438 total yards, including 189 on the ground. Peters’ fourth-quarter rushing touchdown capped a three-play, 47-yard drive, but the Bulldogs’ defense held firm, forcing turnovers on downs in the red zone and limiting the Yotes’ comeback attempts.
Defensively, Tanner Steele led The College of Idaho with eight total tackles, while Jacob Arms recorded an interception that set up a late scoring drive.
The Yotes will look to bounce back in a nonconference game next Saturday, September 21, when they travel to Ashland, Oregon, to take on Southern Oregon University. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. MT
