Colt Technology’s Cyber Blunder: Customer Data Hits Dark Web Auction Block
Colt Technology Services faces a cyber fiasco as Warlock threatens to auction off customer data. Despite Colt’s claims of isolated systems, the dark web’s latest menu features their file titles. Customers can now call Colt for a sneak peek at their own leaked files. Grab your popcorn; this cyber-saga’s timeline is still in suspense!
Hot Take:
Well, it looks like Colt Technology Services just got a not-so-friendly tech support call from the dark web. Who says customer service can’t be thrilling, right? It seems like the only thing more disconnected than their internal systems is their understanding of what ‘disconnected’ means. A lesson learned: when your cyber security goes south, the dark web will be sure to auction the souvenirs.
Key Points:
- Colt Technology Services initially claimed a cyber incident targeted internal systems, supposedly separate from customer data.
- The breach led to disruption in several services, including hosting and voice API platforms.
- The cybercriminal group, Warlock, accessed files potentially containing customer data and listed filenames on the dark web.
- Warlock is auctioning the compromised data in a private sale rather than publicly posting it.
- Experts note Warlock has targeted vulnerabilities in global systems, including Microsoft SharePoint.
