- PLL Electric Utilities confirms that the data leaked online
- He was stolen from a third -party supplier during Moveit’s trick
- No banking or payment information was leaked
Almost two years have passed since the Moveit MFT data violation fiasco, but companies and their clients still feel the consequences.
PLL Electric Utilities is the last to confirm the stolen information in 2023 has now leaked online, since one of its suppliers was exposed through Moveit.
“The information did not extend beyond the basic information, such as the name, the address, the telephone number, the email address and the account number,” said a company spokesman. Banking or credit card information, social security numbers or account passwords were not disclosed, since people did not share these data with the compromised supplier first, but the information can still be used in an attack of phishing, identity theft, social engineering and more.
Millions of victims
“This problem is not completely related to PPL systems and critical infrastructure in all our service areas,” the company said.
Moveit 2023 data violation was a large -scale cybernetic attack that exploits zero day vulnerability in the transfer of Moveit managed files, file transfer software created by the progress software. It was discovered at the end of May 2023, when the defect allowed attackers to execute SQL injection attacks and obtain unauthorized access to confidential data.
The ransomware actors known as CL0P were the ones who exploited the error to steal data from organizations around the world. The attack hit more than 600 organizations and approximately 40 million people, including governments, financial institutions, medical care providers and large corporations. Among the most notable victims are federal agencies in the United States, British respiratory tract, Shell and BBC.
It is estimated that the Ransomware Cl0P gang extorted between $ 75 million and $ 100 million. Despite a low percentage of victims who choose to pay, the group obtained substantial sums of a few selected who met their high rescue demands.
