Deloitte Dilemma: Ransomware Group’s Bold Claims or Just a Byte of Misunderstanding?
Deloitte responds to claims by ransomware group Brain Cipher about stealing over a terabyte of data. Deloitte asserts the breach involves a single client’s system, not its own network. Brain Cipher, known for disrupting services, threatens to release stolen files unless a ransom is paid.

Hot Take:
Looks like Deloitte is caught up in another cybersecurity soap opera, but this time they’re pointing fingers at a client, while Brain Cipher is threatening to spill the beans like a melodramatic villain in a daytime TV show!
Key Points:
- Brain Cipher claims to have 1TB of Deloitte’s data and threatens to release it.
- Deloitte states the breach is related to a client’s system, not theirs.
- Brain Cipher uses LockBit-based ransomware, also linked to SenSayQ and EstateRansomware.
- This is Deloitte’s second cyber incident in recent months.
- Brain Cipher previously caused chaos in Indonesia with their antics.
