Hot Take:

Looks like Dollar Tree’s slogan should’ve been “Everything’s $1.25 or less, including our data security!” Perhaps they should’ve invested some of those billions into a decent firewall instead of trying to save a buck on cybersecurity. If you thought getting a deal on toothpaste was exciting, wait until you see your passport hanging out on the dark web!

Key Points:

– INC Ransomware group claims to have stolen 1.2TB of sensitive data from Dollar Tree.
– The data includes passports, payroll forms, legal documents, and harassment complaints.
– INC Ransomware, aka GOLD IONIC, has a reputation for sophisticated attacks.
– The group has a history of targeting major sectors in the US and Europe.
– Ransomware attacks like this highlight the urgent need for better cybersecurity measures.
