Business jet maker Bombardier is the latest company to suffer a data breach by the Clop ransomware gang after attackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability to steal company data.
Soon after BleepingComputer contacted the company about the data leak, Bombardier issued a press release stating that they suffered a breach after hackers stole data from their "File-transfer application."
"Forensic analysis revealed that personal and other confidential information relating to employees, customers and suppliers was compromised. Approximately 130 employees located in Costa Rica were impacted. Bombardier has been proactively contacting customers and other external stakeholders whose data was potentially compromised," says Bombardier in a cybersecurity breach advisory.
Starting in February, the Clop ransomware gang began publishing data for victims whose Accellion FTA devices were breached.
Since the attacks on Accellion FTA devices started in December, BleepingComputer has been researching the data breaches and has been told by companies that they received ransom notes from the Clop ransomware gang.
We should expect to see more Accellion FTA data breaches disclosed as the Clop ransomware gang post further stolen data to their website.
