Telefonica Tango: Hacker’s Data Leak Drama or Déjà Vu?

Telefónica’s breach denial has Rey from the Hellcat Ransomware group in stitches. While the company plays peek-a-boo, Rey leaks 5GB of a supposedly 106GB data heist. If Telefónica continues its mime act, Rey promises a full release. Looks like Telefónica’s cybersecurity is as tight as a clown car!

Hot Take:

Looks like Telefónica might need to upgrade its security measures from “keystone cops” to “actual cybersecurity professionals.” Perhaps they should stop treating their data like a piñata at a hacker’s birthday bash. After all, it’s not a party until someone leaks 106GB of your internal comms, right?

Key Points:

  • Telefónica allegedly breached by hacker group Hellcat Ransomware, led by the infamous “Rey.”
  • Hacker claims uninterrupted data exfiltration for 12 hours on May 30th.
  • Leaked data includes internal communications, purchase orders, and customer records.
  • Telefónica denies the breach, labeling it as mere extortion with outdated data.
  • Rey threatens to release entire 106GB if demands are unmet.
