Ransomware Group ‘direwolf’ Claims Attack on myLaurel

A ransomware group calling itself direwolf claims to have carried out an attack on myLaurel, with the claim dated September 6, 2026. This claim comes from an entry on the group’s own dark-web leak site, which was tracked and logged by ransomware.live, a security research platform that monitors ransomware groups’ public extortion pages. At this time, the claim has not been independently verified, and myLaurel has not issued any public confirmation of an incident.
