"Johnson Controls Ransomware Attack Could Impact DHS"

Sensitive Department of Homeland Security (DHS) information might have been compromised in a recent ransomware attack aimed at government contractor Johnson Controls International.  The cybercrime group claims to have exfiltrated 27TB of sensitive data from Johnson Controls.  The company serves clients in the education, government, healthcare, hospitality, naval, and transportation sectors, including the DoD, DHS, and other government agencies in the US.  According to the DHS, Johnson Controls holds documents depicting “the physical security of many DHS facilities”, such as floor plans and security information, and that these documents might have been stored on the compromised servers.  It was noted that the exact impact on the DHS’s systems and facilities is unknown, but further details on the matter are likely to become available as the investigation into the incident advances.
