Hot Take:

Looks like the Everest ransomware group is taking a page out of the airline industry’s book with their “mile-high” ambitions in data breaches. They’re soaring to new heights, and not in a good way. Let’s just hope they don’t start charging extra for ransomware with a middle seat.

Key Points:

  • Everest ransomware group targets Dublin Airport and Air Arabia, adding them to their dark web leak site.
  • The group allegedly breached AT&T Careers, stealing 576,000 records shortly before targeting the airlines.
  • Dublin Airport breach includes 1,533,900 personal records, while Air Arabia’s involves over 18,000 employees.
  • Both breaches are password-protected, with a six-day deadline for the companies to contact Everest.
  • The aviation industry is becoming a niche target for Everest, impacting major European airports.
