A ransomware group claims to have breached 'all Sony systems'2023-09-25 17:54 by DanielaTags: Sony, ransomware
A ransomware group is claiming to have stolen data from Sony and is offering to sell it after the company refuses to pay. While the attack has not been verified, it is reported that the group is known to have stolen data from other victims in the past, and has provided apparent proof that the hack took place. Cyber Security Connect calls the proof-of-hack data uploaded by Ransomed.vc "not particularly compelling information". The proof consists of screenshots of an internal log-in page, an internal presentation, and some Java files. The group also posted a file tree of the stolen data, which apparently consists of less than 6000 files, including more Java files and HTML files. "We have successfully compromissed [sic] all of sony systems," the group claimed on both the clear and dark nets. "We won't ransom them! We will sell the data. Due to Sony not wanting to pay. DATA IS FOR SALE." In 2011, Sony's PlayStation Network suffered a massive breach that resulted in the personal details of approximately 77 million accounts being compromised and the service being taken offline for 23 days. Sony initially estimated the hack would cost it more than $100m, and it was forced to apologise not only to players, but developers whose game launches were disrupted or whose online services were left unavailable.
