"Ransomware Hit Disrupts Real Estate Property Listings in US"

A ransomware attack has disrupted property listings across the US. Real estate agents lost the ability to list or update property information due to an attack on the California-based data services company Rapattoni, which hosts Multiple Listing Services (MLS). Regional MLS databases are used by the real estate industry so that brokers can share information. This information powers listing websites and enables cooperating brokers to market one another's properties. Many regional MLS providers rely on Rapattoni's services to identify new properties on the market, update home listings, connect buyers and sellers to facilitate offers, track commissions for listing agents, and more. This article continues to discuss the impact of the cyberattack on the Rapattoni-hosted MLS.
