US department store Kmart has suffered a ransomware attack that impacts back-end services at the company, BleepingComputer has learned.
BleepingComputer has learned that Kmart suffered a cyberattack by the Egregor ransomware operation this week that encrypted devices and servers on the network.
The ransomware operation then threatens to post the data on ransomware data leak sites if a ransom is not paid.
Egregor is a new ransomware operation that started encrypting victims in September 2020.
BleepingComputer has been told by threat actors that after the Maze Ransomware operation shut down, many of their partners switched over to the Egregor operation.
