Hellcat Ransomware Strikes Again: Swiss Telecom and Jaguar Land Rover in Cyber Crosshairs!
The Hellcat ransomware group strikes again, targeting Swiss telecoms giant Ascom and British car legend Jaguar Land Rover. With stolen credentials dating back to 2021, it seems Hellcat’s motto is “age before beauty.” Ascom swiftly responded, but JLR remains as silent as a Jaguar in the night.
Hot Take:
Another day, another ransomware group trying to make a name for themselves. Hellcat seems to be on a roll, targeting big names like Ascom and Jaguar Land Rover. Maybe they’re hoping to drive away with a fancy new car or a telecoms trophy. But hey, at least they’re consistent in their love for outdated credentials. Who knew recycling could be so… lucrative?

- 44 gigabytes of data were allegedly stolen from Ascom, including sensitive documents and source code.
- Hundreds of gigabytes of data were reportedly taken from JLR using old credentials.
