Ransomware Roundup: 02.11.22

Operations at major oil terminals and port facilities in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany were disrupted by suspected ransomware attacks: BlackCat (ALPHV) is implicated in breaches of Oiltanking GmbH and Mabanaft GmbH that forced Shell to reroute supplies and caused limited operations/force majeure across multiple terminals and 200+ petrol stations, while a separate attack halted SEA-Invest operations (cause unconfirmed). The report situates these events within broader trends highlighted by CISA and industry researchers showing ransomware groups increasingly target critical infrastructure, managed service providers, and cloud/supply-chain environments.
