Cisco’s Data Drama: Old Cyberattack Resurfaces with a New Ransomware Twist!
Cisco says the credentials posted by the Kraken ransomware group are remnants of a 2022 cyberattack that’s already been addressed. So no need to panic; it’s not a new crisis, just a rerun!

Hot Take:
Well, it looks like the Kraken has risen from the deep, but all it’s brought with it is some old junk from the sea floor. Cisco’s caught in a time warp, but no need to dust off the DeLorean just yet—this is one rerun that’s already been resolved. So, no need to hit the panic button, just maybe keep an eye on your old passwords, because they might just be the star of this retro cyber drama!

- Cisco confirmed the data is from a past breach and poses no current threat.
- The hack was originally attributed to multiple notorious cyber gangs.
- The leaked information includes usernames, identifiers, and password hashes.
