The Qilin ransomware group claimed an attack on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The ATF issued a statement saying a cybersecurity incident impacted a standalone system, that connections to the affected environment were terminated, and that there is no indication the enterprise network, eForms system, or other ATF systems were affected; the agency is coordinating with the Department of Justice and investigating. Qilin is not named in the statement but is implied by the timeline and claims.
