A pair of cyberattacks on high-profile targets - the owner of the Jack Daniels distillery and the iconic Ritz London hotel - have resulted in the exposure of sensitive information.

The Ritz London disclosed a data breach of its own, which it said it became aware of on Aug. 14.

In the case of the celebrity law firm, the attackers threatened to leak 756 gigabytes of stolen data, including personal info on Lady Gaga, Drake and Madonna.

We can confirm that on 12th August 2020, we were aware of a potential data breach within our food and beverage reservation system, which may have compromised some of our clients' personal data.

"Unlike the other recently reported data breach about data stolen from Jack Daniel's, the Ritz incident may have a much stronger consequences and extremely high losses," said Ilia Kolochenko, founder and CEO of web security company ImmuniWeb, via email.
