Petrobras in Hot Water: Everest Ransomware Strikes Oil Giant with Data Breach
Everest ransomware group hit a high note by targeting Petrobras, claiming to have pilfered 176 gigabytes of seismic data. That’s a lot of earth-shattering intel! Petrobras hasn’t commented yet, but if they’re looking for advice, maybe they should start dusting off their negotiation skills—or their dancing shoes!
Hot Take:
Ah, Petrobras! When it rains, it pours, doesn’t it? The Everest ransomware group has decided to go on a shopping spree on the dark web, and it looks like they’ve got a soft spot for seismic data. Petrobras and SAExploration are now the proud stars of not one, but two listings on Everest’s dark web leak site. And if you think that’s enough drama for one week, Everest is also claiming to have hacked Under Armour. Talk about a busy schedule! What’s next, hacking into my fridge to see if I really am out of milk?
Key Points:
- Everest ransomware group targets Petrobras and SAExploration with two separate data breaches.
- Over 176 GB of seismic navigation data allegedly stolen, with over 90 GB belonging to Petrobras.
- Second breach involves Petrobras’ Campos Basin seismic surveys, including 3D and 4D data sets.
- Everest demands Petrobras contact them via encrypted messaging, setting a four-day deadline.
- Coincides with Everest’s alleged hack of Under Armour, claiming 343 GB of data exfiltration.
