Swiss Software Shocker: 1.3 Million Files Leaked in Xplain Ransomware Fiasco
Swiss cheese security? Xplain’s 65,000 ‘relevant’ files get a dark web debut, courtesy of the ransomware group Play. NCSC’s report reveals a data smorgasbord ripe for identity theft. Xplain’s response? Rebuild and insure, because diversified pie-holding pays off. Stay tuned for more cyber-saga twists!
Hot Take:
Looks like the Swiss software developer Xplain just got a crash course in "How to Rebuild Your IT Infrastructure 101" thanks to a not-so-fun interaction with Play, the ransomware group that's more like the schoolyard bully who steals your lunch money and then posts about it on the dark web. And just like that, 1.3 million files take a trip to the shady side of the internet. But hey, Xplain's diversified portfolio and indemnity insurance mean they're not crying over spilled data – at least not in public.Already a member? Log in here
