Three hours appears to be a long time when it comes to data leaks Featured
By Sam Varghese
Less than three hours after the Medibank Group told iTWire it had not been affected by the ongoing ransomware attacks by the Cl0p group, the company told another media outlet that it had indeed been affected.
Medibank data was stolen from a company that serves as the health insurer's building manager, the Australian Financial Review reported at 12.11pm on 20 June.
At 9.52am the same day, the company was singing a different tune, telling iTWire that "at this stage we are not aware of any of our customers’ data being compromised".
The Cl0p attacks have been through the secure managed file transfer software MOVEit Transfer.
Thus far 36 tranches of the company's data have been released on the dark web by the ransomware outfit, with the entire archive weighing in at 121GB.
In the second week of June, it came to light that a number of US Federal Government agencies had been breached through the vulnerability in MOVEit Transfer.
Emsisoft ransomware threat researcher Brett Callow said in a tweet that the current victim count from the MOVEit attacks was 158 and more than 16 million individuals were affected.
#Cl0p has listed more victims including FIS. According to Wikipedia, "FIS facilitates the movement of roughly $9 trillion through the processing of approximately 75 billion transactions in service to more than 20,000 clients around the globe." 1/2 pic.twitter.com/juEGyKt2Gv
