Western Digital hit by cyberattack
By MYBRANDBOOK
Hackers have stolen around 10 TB data from data storage leader Western Digital that allegedly contains customer information. According to reports, hackers are demanding ransom in “minimum 8 figures" in exchange for not exposing the stolen data online. The hackers also shared phone numbers allegedly belonging to several company executives. They were also able to steal data from the company’s SAP Backoffice that helps companies manage e-commerce data.
“We are the vermin who breached your company. Perhaps your attention is needed! Continue down this path and we will retaliate. We only need a one-time payment, and then we will leave your network and let you know about your weaknesses. No lasting harm has been done. But if there are any efforts to interfere with us, our systems, or anything else. We will strike back," the hackers wrote in an email to Western Digital executives.
On April 3, Western Digital said that cyber-criminals exfiltrated data from its systems during a “network security incident". On March 26, Western Digital had identified a network security incident involving its systems.
Due to this, an unauthorised third party gained access to a number of the company’s systems. Upon discovery of the incident, the company implemented response efforts and initiated an investigation with the assistance of leading outside security and forensic experts.
As part of its remediation efforts, Western Digital was working to restore impacted infrastructure and services.
