Deloitte Denies Brain Cipher Ransomware Hack – A Comedy of Claims
Deloitte denies Brain Cipher ransomware group’s claims of stealing 1 terabyte of data from its network. The company insists the data breach is limited to a single client’s system, stressing their systems remain untouched. Meanwhile, hackers threaten to release the files unless a ransom is paid. Stay tuned for more cybersecurity drama!
Hot Take:
Oh, Deloitte, not again! It seems like déjà vu for the accounting giant. With hackers more persistent than a toddler in a candy store, it’s no wonder the company is waving their fingers saying, “Not us, not us!” But hey, at least they’re consistent in denying and dodging these cyber bullets, right?
Key Points:
- Brain Cipher ransomware group claims to have stolen 1 terabyte of data from Deloitte UK.
- Deloitte asserts that the alleged breach pertains to a single client’s system, unrelated to their network.
- The hackers threaten data release within five days if ransom demands are unmet.
- Past incidents show Deloitte’s vulnerability; a 2017 breach compromised client emails and sensitive data.
- Group-IB research suggests Brain Cipher may share operators with other ransomware groups like EstateRansomware.
