Comcast’s Data Drama: Ransomware Leak Unleashes 834 GB of Corporate Chaos!
The Medusa ransomware group leaked 186.36 GB of data claimed to be stolen from Comcast. Initially demanding $1.2 million to keep the data under wraps, the group opted for a public release when negotiations with Comcast stalled. Comcast now joins the list of companies targeted by ransomware groups, with data available in 47 split files.
Hot Take:
Looks like Comcast’s data just got a one-way ticket to the ransomware rodeo, courtesy of the Medusa gang. Who knew data breaches could weigh as much as an elephant? Comcast might want to consider a crash course in cybersecurity or at least start rehearsing their lines for the next ransom negotiation play.
