Orange You Glad It’s Just a Non-Critical Breach? Hackers Hijack Data, Leave Company Scrambling

Orange Group has confirmed a breach involving a non-critical application, after a hacker, known as Rey, claimed they stole 6.5GB of data from the company. Rey, part of the HellCat ransomware group, accessed the systems for over a month and attempted extortion. Orange is investigating and prioritizing customer and employee data protection.

Hot Take:

Looks like Orange Group just got their systems “squeezed” by a hacker with a zest for chaos! The cybercriminals didn’t even get the memo about negotiating, which means Orange got a free trial of their own data breach. Sadly, their Romanian branch’s secrets were the ones left out to dry more than leftover Halloween candy in November.

Key Points:

– A hacker named Rey breached Orange Group’s systems, targeting the Romanian branch.
– The breach involved exploiting vulnerabilities and compromised credentials in Jira software.
– Approximately 6.5GB of data, including 380,000 email addresses, was stolen.
– Orange confirmed the breach but stated it happened on a non-critical application.
– Rey is part of the HellCat ransomware group but acted independently in this breach.
