"Over 130 Organizations, Millions of Individuals Believed to Be Impacted by MOVEit Hack"
More victims of the MOVEit hack have recently come to light, with a total of over 130 organizations and millions of individuals believed to be impacted. Brett Callow, a threat analyst at cybersecurity firm Emisoft, stated that he is aware of 138 organizations to have been impacted by the campaign, with the data breaches resulting in the personal information of more than 15 million people being compromised. The Russia-linked cybercrime group known for operating the Cl0p ransomware has taken credit for the attack. Cl0p has claimed to have hit many organizations, and they have started naming those that have refused to pay up or enter negotiations. They have recently named over 60 entities that appear to have been targeted through the MOVEit vulnerability, which the group may have been testing since 2021. Callow stated that the list includes major organizations such as Shell (they have already leaked data allegedly stolen from the energy giant), Siemens Energy, Schneider Electric, UCLA, Sony, EY, PwC, Cognizant, and AbbVie. Law firms Kirkland & Ellis and K&L Gates have also been added to Cl0p’s leak website.
