What happened
According to RansomLook, a ransomware claim tracker, the vortex ransomware group lists Scripps on its leak site, in an entry dated 2026-11-09 (RansomLook: Scripps: claimed by the vortex ransomware group on its leak site).
Only the headline of that entry could be fetched, so the full article could not be reviewed. This advisory rests on the headline alone and adds no detail beyond it.
Not confirmed, because the headline does not say:
- Whether Scripps has acknowledged or confirmed any incident.
- Which Scripps organization is meant.

The listing is the group’s own claim, as relayed by RansomLook, and no independent verification is shown in the source.
