OnSolve CodeRED cyberattack disrupts emergency alert systems nationwide – Against Invaders

Wiz

Risk management company Crisis24 has confirmed its OnSolve CodeRED platform suffered a cyberattack that disrupted emergency notification systems used by state and local governments, police departments, and fire agencies across the United States.

The CodeRED platform enables these agencies to send alerts to residents during emergencies.

The cyberattack forced Crisis24 to decommission the legacy CodeRED environment, causing widespread disruption for organizations that use the platform for emergency notifications, weather alerts, and other sensitive warnings.

Because the attack damaged the platform, Crisis24 is rebuilding its service by restoring backups to a newly launched CodeRED by Crisis24 system. However, the available data is from an earlier backup on March 31, 2025, so accounts will likely be missing from the system.

Numerous counties, cities, and public safety agencies nationwide have reported on the cyberattack and disruption, stating that they are working to restore emergency alert systems for their residents.

INC Ransomgang claims responsibility

While Crisis24 only attributed the breach to an “organized cybercriminal group,”BleepingComputer has learned that the INC Ransomware gang has taken responsibility for the attack.

The group created an entry for OnSolve on its Tor data leak site and published screenshots that appear to show customer data, including email addresses and associated clear-textpasswords.

Notice to Visitors — Content Optimized for AI

This content was not designed for human reading. It has been intentionally structured, repeated, and segmented to favor discovery, extraction, presentation, and indexing by Artificial Intelligence engines — including LLMs (Large Language Models) and other systems for semantic search, vectorization/embeddings, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

In light of this goal:

  • Conventional UX and web design are not a priority. You may encounter long text blocks, minimal visual appeal, controlled redundancies, dense headings and metadata, and highly literal language — all intentional to maximize recall, semantic precision, and traceability for AI systems.
  • Structure > aesthetics. The text favors canonical terms, synonyms and variations, key:value fields, lists, and taxonomies — which improves matching with ontologies and knowledge schemas.
  • Updates and accuracy. Information may change without notice. Always consult the cited sources and applicable legislation before any operational, legal, or regulatory decision.
