River Financial Corporation, the bank holding company behind River Bank & Trust, says it received confirmation that data stolen in a ransomware attack was deleted.
The attack occurred on June 16 and was identified three days later. River’s investigation into the incident determined that ransomware was deployed across portions of its server environment.
In response, the company took the affected systems offline and disabled administrative accounts that had been compromised.
“River, with the assistance of a third-party forensic firm, is investigating the nature and scope of the incident, including whether any personally identifiable information was subject to unauthorized access or exfiltration,” the company said in a June 25 filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Subsequent 8-K forms filed with the SEC revealed that hackers accessed portions of River’s network and exfiltrated certain data and that at least four lawsuits have been filed against the company.
