"Car Parts Giant Denso Targeted by Ransomware Group"

The Japanese car parts giant Deso has revealed that hackers recently accessed its network in Germany to deliver a piece of ransomware. After detecting the breach, the company shut down the compromised devices' network connections. Despite this response, the incident did not disrupt production activities as plants operated as usual. Although the company has not disclosed any information about the attackers behind the incident, the cybercrime group, known as Pandora, claimed to have carried out the attack and stolen 1.4 TB of data. The hackers shared a list of files and images of documents allegedly stolen from Denso to demonstrate their claims. The list suggests that tens of thousands of documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and images were stolen. It remains unclear as to how the hackers were able to gain access to Denso's network. However, after Pandora took credit for the attack, a researcher said they had warned Denso a couple of months ago that threat actors were selling access to its network. The Pandora ransomware seems new, but several experts say it is a rebranded version of the Rook ransomware. This article continues to discuss the cyberattack faced by the automotive giant Denso and the Pandora hacking group claiming to have executed the attack.
