Sony has appeared on the dark web victim blog of data extortion gang Ransomedvc, who claim to have infiltrated the company’s systems and stolen sensitive data. If confirmed, it will be the second time Sony has been breached in a matter of months, after the business was hit as part of the MOVEit Transfer vulnerability attacks.
According to a September 25 article from Australian cybersecurity publication Cyber Security Connect, the PlayStation maker was cracked open by Ransomed.vc, a new outfit of hackers that’s only been operating since September—though the publication suggests the gang has connections to previous dark web forums and groups. Cyber Security Connect reports that the hack allegedly unearthed screenshots of Sony’s internal log-in page, an internal PowerPoint presentation outlining test bench details, several Java files, and a document tree of the entire leak housing 6,000 files.
“We have successfully [compromised] all of [Sony’s] systems,” Ransomed.vc proclaimed. “We won’t ransom them! We will sell the data. Due to Sony not wanting to pay. DATA IS FOR SALE. WE ARE SELLING IT.”
However, just because I say this is the best LCD TV I’ve ever tested does not mean that it is necessarily the best TV for you to buy, even if cost is no object. The how, the why, and the what behind my claim are vital to understanding whether or not the X95L might be the best TV for your needs. So, if I may be so bold as to ask, please read on to find out what makes the Sony X95L such a remarkable TV, and together I hope we’ll arrive at a conclusion as to whether it might be the right TV for you.
The post by Cyber Security Connect goes on to mention that the proof-of-hack contains information such as internal log-in page, a PowerPoint presentation that describes “testbench details”, and some Java files. The hackers have also posted the file tree which contains fewer than 6,000 files. Cyber Security Connect describes this as “seemingly small” considering the ransomware is supposedly of “all of Sony systems.”
Hollingworth notes that, in the event no buyers surface, the group plans to post the data breach on September 28, 2023. The ransomware group also plans to report a Data Privacy Law violation to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) agency should no one purchase their stolen data.
