"Hyundai Motor Europe Hit by Black Basta Ransomware Attack"

Car maker Hyundai Motor Europe has recently suffered a Black Basta ransomware attack, with the threat actors claiming to have stolen three terabytes of corporate data.  Hyundai Motor Europe is Hyundai Motor Company's European division, headquartered in Germany.  Hyundai Motor Europe says it is investigating a case in which an unauthorized third party has accessed a limited part of its network.  The investigation is ongoing, and local law enforcement has been notified.   Hyundai previously disclosed a data breach in April 2023 that impacted Italian and French car owners and those who booked a test drive.  The Black Basta ransomware gang launched its operation in April 2022 and quickly launched a stream of double-extortion attacks.  By June 2022, Black Basta had partnered with the QBot malware operation (QakBot) to drop Cobalt Strike for remote access on corporate networks.  Black Basta would use this access to spread to other devices on the network, steal data, and ultimately encrypt devices.  Black Basta is believed to be an offshoot of the notorious Conti ransomware operation, run by one of the previous Conti leaders.
