"Shell Confirms MOVEit-Related Breach After Ransomware Group Leaks Data"

Energy giant Shell has recently confirmed that personal information belonging to employees has been compromised due to the recent MOVEit Transfer hack.  In a brief statement issued on Wednesday, Shell finally confirmed being hit by the MOVEit hack, clarifying that the MFT software was "used by a small number of Shell employees and customers."  The company noted that some personal information relating to employees of the BG Group had been accessed without authorization.  The company stated that it is unclear exactly what type of information has been compromised, but impacted individuals are being notified.  Shell confirmed the incident after the Cl0p cybercrime gang published files allegedly stolen from the firm.  The group has made available 23 archive files labeled "part1," which could suggest that they are in possession of more data.  When Cl0p published the Shell files, the cybercriminals noted that the company did not want to negotiate.
