Atos vs. Space Bears: A Comedy of Denials and Data Drama!
Atos denies being breached by Space Bears, stating their systems remain untouched. However, a third-party infrastructure was compromised, and data mentioning Atos was accessed. It’s a classic “It’s not us, it’s them” scenario, with Atos maintaining their innocence while acknowledging the drama unfolding outside their digital doorstep.
Hot Take:
Atos is playing the blame game like a seasoned pro! While Space Bears claim they’ve got Atos data, the French tech firm is doing a masterclass in denial, deflecting all responsibility onto third-party vendors. Atos is like that friend who insists they didn’t eat your leftovers, but there are crumbs all over their shirt. If anything, this saga is proof that in the tech world, it’s easier to find a needle in a haystack than someone willing to admit they’ve been hacked!
Key Points:
- Atos denied any breach of its systems by the Space Bears ransomware group.
- Space Bears claimed on December 28 that they had accessed Atos data and set a January 7 ransom deadline.
- Atos confirmed that third-party infrastructure was indeed compromised.
- The French government is in talks to buy parts of Atos to keep it from foreign ownership.
- This isn’t Atos’ first rodeo with ransomware claims, having previously blamed Nimbix for a data leak.
