Sweden’s Power Grid Dodges Bullet as Hackers Swipe Data: The Great File Transfer Fiasco!
Hackers breached Svenska kraftnät, Sweden’s power grid operator, through an isolated file transfer system, stealing 280 GB of data. Luckily, the power grid itself remained as untouched as a salad at a pizza party. Everest ransomware group claimed responsibility, adding the breach to their Tor data leak site.
Hot Take:
Well, it seems like Swedish hackers have decided to take a “power nap” instead of going full throttle. While Svenska kraftnät’s electricity supply snoozed peacefully, hackers were busy rummaging through their file cabinets. Guess you could say they gave the power grid a “light” scare without causing a blackout!
Key Points:
- Hackers breached Svenska kraftnät’s isolated file transfer system, stealing data.
- The power grid operations remained unaffected by the cyberattack.
- Svenska kraftnät is investigating the breach with law enforcement and authorities.
- The Everest ransomware group claimed responsibility for the attack.
- 280 GB of data was reportedly stolen, but mission-critical systems were not impacted.
