The Akira ransomware group claims to have breached Apache OpenOffice, stealing 23GB of data. Akira’s alleged loot includes sensitive documents and financial records. While the Apache Software Foundation hasn’t confirmed the breach, OpenOffice users are urged to download only from the official site, lest they want a surprise “feature” added to their software.

Hot Take:

Well, it looks like the Akira ransomware group didn’t get the memo that crashing an OpenOffice party is like robbing a free buffet. Sure, you’ve got a plateful of employee records and internal files, but the menu is free for everyone anyway! Maybe next time they’ll think twice before trying to make a quick buck off of open-source goodness.

Key Points:

  • Akira ransomware group claims to have stolen 23GB of data from Apache OpenOffice.
  • Data allegedly includes sensitive employee information and internal files.
  • The Apache Software Foundation has not confirmed any breach.
  • OpenOffice’s download infrastructure is separate and unaffected.
  • Akira uses double extortion tactics and operates in Russian-speaking forums.
