Allianz UK Hacked: Clop Gang Strikes Again in Oracle EBS Data Breach Fiasco
Allianz UK confirmed it was hit by the Clop gang’s Oracle EBS attack, affecting 750 customers. The attack, separate from the Allianz Life breach, compromised only Allianz UK’s customer data. Allianz joins the unfortunate lineup of organizations targeted by Clop’s zero-day exploits, leaving everyone wondering if cybercriminals have adopted a rewards program.
Hot Take:
Allianz UK has become the latest contestant in the cybercriminals’ favorite game show: “Who Wants to Be a Data Breach Victim?” The Clop gang, those pesky cyber pirates, have once again proven that they can hit more targets than a caffeine-fueled archer at a bullseye contest. Allianz’s response? Assure everyone that Liverpool Victoria is as safe as a vault in Fort Knox. Meanwhile, Allianz’s own customers are left wondering if their data is more public than a celebrity’s Instagram account.
Key Points:
- Allianz UK’s data breach affected 80 current and 670 previous customers.
- Clop gang exploited Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) vulnerabilities.
- LV (Liverpool Victoria) customers were not impacted by this attack.
- The attack was separate from a previous breach at Allianz Life in the US.
- Google researchers suggest “dozens” of organizations may have been affected.
