"Volkswagen Says IT Infrastructure Not Affected After Ransomware Gang Claims Data Theft"
The Volkswagen Group has recently made a public statement after a known ransomware group claimed to have stolen valuable information from the carmaker's systems. The spokesperson says that this incident is known but added that the IT infrastructure of the Volkswagen Group is not affected. The Volkswagen Group owns car brands such as Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat, Audi, Lamborghini, Porsche, Cupra, and Bentley. The company has not shared any other information on the cyberattack. 8Base claims to have stolen invoices, receipts, accounting documents, personal data, certificates, employment contracts, personnel files, and "a huge amount of confidential information." The time is up for Volkswagen on the ransomware group's website, but the hackers do not appear to have made any of the stolen information public. The 8Base ransomware group has been around since early 2023.
