OpenOffice Ransomware Drama: Much Ado About Missing Data!
The Apache Software Foundation denies the Akira ransomware gang’s claims of breaching OpenOffice and stealing 23 GB of data. Apparently, the gang is attempting to steal non-existent employee and financial data. It’s hard to steal notes from a meeting when the only meeting that ever happened was in the coffee line.

Hot Take:
Looks like the Akira gang might have confused Apache OpenOffice with a secret government agency, because they claim to have stolen a treasure trove of data that doesn’t even exist! Maybe their next heist will involve swiping unicorns from Narnia. Until then, the Apache Software Foundation is as confused as a cat in a cucumber patch.
Key Points:
- Akira ransomware gang claims to have stolen 23 GB of data from Apache OpenOffice.
- Data supposedly includes employee and financial information, which Apache says it doesn’t have.
- The Apache Software Foundation is investigating but has found no evidence of a breach.
- Apache OpenOffice operates transparently, so any issues are already public.
- Despite the claims, no ransom has been demanded, and no data has been leaked.
