Freeze! Americold’s Icy Encounter with Cactus Ransomware Gang Melts Down Security
When the Cactus Ransomware gang hit Americold, they didn’t just freeze operations, they took home some icy souvenirs. Over 129,000 employees had their data served on a chilled platter. Let’s hope this frosty fiasco leads Americold to some hot security investments. After all, you can’t play ‘freeze tag’ if you’re already cold as ice.
Hot Take:
Chilled out? More like frozen solid. Americold, the cold storage and logistics behemoth, just had a major meltdown. They've confirmed that the personal information of over 129,000 employees and their loved ones got scooped up in an April attack. Apparently, the Cactus ransomware gang decided to play 'freeze tag' with their systems. But instead of tagging, they took, and instead of playing, they plundered. Let's just hope this icy incident leads to some hot security improvements.Already a member? Log in here
