Microlise Cyberattack Fiasco: Prison Vans Panic as Data Drama Unfolds!
Microlise, a UK vehicle tracking provider, recently fell victim to a cyberattack, disrupting systems for clients like DHL and Serco. While most services are back online, SafePay ransomware gang claims to have stolen 1.2 terabytes of data. Microlise assures no customer systems data was compromised.
Hot Take:
When it comes to cybersecurity, Microlise is learning the hard way that a good defense is better than a “whoops, we’re hacked” offense. It seems SafePay has taken the ‘fast and furious’ approach—steal data, leak data, repeat. Looks like Microlise needs a new GPS to navigate the hacker highway!
Key Points:
- Microlise suffered a cyberattack in October, disrupting vehicle tracking and panic alarm systems.
- Data theft involved employee information, although customer systems data remained uncompromised.
- SafePay ransomware gang claims responsibility, threatening to release 1.2 terabytes of stolen data.
- Microlise notified the London Stock Exchange of the attack and restoration progress.
- Authorities have been informed, but details remain sparse.
