"Estes Express Lines Says Personal Data Stolen in Ransomware Attack"

Freight shipping giant Estes Express Lines has recently started informing more than 21,000 individuals that their personal information was stolen in a ransomware attack.  The incident was identified on October 1, 2023, and the investigation into the matter determined that the attackers gained access to the company's network on September 26, 2023.  Estes told the Maine Attorney General's Office that the personal information that was compromised in the attack included names, other personal identifiers, and Social Security numbers.  The company noted that it did not pay a ransom but did not share specific details on its remediation and restoration efforts.  While Estes did not name the ransomware that it fell victim to, the LockBit ransomware gang claimed responsibility for the attack in early November.  On November 13, the group published the data allegedly stolen from Estes on its Tor-based leak site.
