MathWorks’ Ransomware Woes: Data of 10,000+ Stolen in Cyber Heist
MathWorks, known for its MATLAB software, confirmed a ransomware attack that compromised the data of over 10,000 people. The breach, discovered a month late, disrupted services like MFA and SSO. The attackers stole personal data, but the responsible ransomware group remains a mystery. MathWorks has yet to comment on the incident.
Hot Take:
MathWorks, where math meets ransomware! Who knew equations could be so dangerous? While it’s clear that the cybercriminals have a knack for numbers too, let’s hope MathWorks can solve this equation before the variables get out of hand. In the meantime, we’ll just sit back and watch as the plot thickens like a good algorithm.
Key Points:
- Ransomware attack on MathWorks compromises data of over 10,000 individuals.
- Attack linked to service outages affecting multiple MathWorks platforms.
- Data stolen includes sensitive personal information like Social Security Numbers.
- No specific ransomware gang has claimed responsibility yet.
- MathWorks still tight-lipped on the details of the breach and potential ransom negotiations.
