Ofcom says it won’t pay ransom, as new MOVEit hack victims come forward
Reading Time: < 1 minutesMore victims of the mass-hacks targeting users of MOVEit Transfer, a popular file-transfer application, are coming forward as the number of known impacted organizations reaches almost 400.
U.S. cosmetics giant Estée Lauder said in a statement that an unauthorized third-party ‘gained access’ to some of the company’s systems and obtained data, but did not share any further details — or publicly link the incident to MOVEit.
The Russia-linked Clop ransomware gang, which has taken credit for the MOVEit mass-hacks, said it stole gigabytes of company data plus Estée Lauder archives. Separately, the company was also listed by another ransomware gang.
Other victims to show up on Clop’s leak site this week included the U.K. government’s communications regulator Ofcom, and the Commission for Communications Regulation, or ComReg, the general communications regulator for Ireland.
While Clop listed both Ofcom and ComReg on Tuesday, both organizations have since been removed from the leak site. The reason behind the removal is not known, but Clop claims it deletes government-related data that it steals.
It’s unlikely that the number of organizations — or individuals — impacted by the MOVEit mass-hacks will be known for some time.
‘But, of course, there’s lots of orgs we don’t yet know about,’ Callow added.
