Security News > 2021 > February > Hackers Leak Data Stolen From Jet Maker Bombardier
Just as the cybercriminals behind the Clop ransomware operation made public information supposedly stolen from Canadian business jet manufacturer Bombardier, the company confirmed suffering a data breach.
In a Thursday statement, the jet maker revealed that an unauthorized party was able to access and steal data by exploiting a vulnerability in "a third-party file-transfer application." While the company did not say which third-party software was compromised, the general characteristics of the incident suggest it was Accellion's FTA service.
With data pertaining to Bombardier emerging on the website and the company disclosing a data breach caused by a third-party application used for file transfer, it's clear that Accellion's FTA was responsible for this incident.
"Manufacturing and customer support operations have not been impacted or interrupted. Bombardier can also confirm the company was not specifically targeted-the vulnerability impacted multiple organizations using the application," Bombardier also says.
In addition to data taken from Bombardier, the attackers behind the Clop operation also leaked information supposedly stolen from Pentair and CSA Group.
Neither of these companies has confirmed a data breach yet.
