[ ransomware, government ]
The Town of Lincoln determined that files on portions of its computer network had been encrypted, with preliminary evidence indicating activity may have begun as early as August 13. The main file server and other network infrastructure were affected, causing the town office to close August 17 and reopen the following day with limited services while restoration continued. By the end of August the town again advertised normal hours, card payments, and online forms. On September 15, police said investigators determined that some data may have been obtained from town systems and that potentially affected individuals would be notified, but officials have not confirmed specific data acquisition, a ransom demand, ransomware attribution, or a responsible actor.

MARINA detected suspicious cyber activity on August 13, 2026 and took its nationwide seafarer document-processing environment offline to contain the incident. The Philippine Department of Information and Communications Technology described the incident as ransomware, but MARINA subsequently reported no confirmed data theft and did not establish successful encryption. Routine issuance of seafarer identity documents and record books was suspended nationwide. MARINA issued temporary certificates, launched an interim processing system on September 1 and progressively restored normal issuance in September. Criminal and financial motivation are inferred from the reported ransomware activity; no perpetrator or ransom demand was publicly verified.

Jewelbug compromised government users through malicious code inserted into a shared Middle Eastern government webmail platform. When employees logged in, the script exfiltrated webmail cookies and institutional email addresses; selected users were then presented with a fake Adobe update that delivered the Antino backdoor and malicious PDF Viewer browser extension. At least one confirmed victim showed authenticated access to internal virtualization-management infrastructure. This conservative record represents at least one government organization within a broader campaign that successfully watering-holed more than 15 government webmail tenants.
