Security News > 2022 > January > Marketing giant RRD confirms data theft in Conti ransomware attack
RR Donnelly has confirmed that threat actors stole data in a December cyberattack, confirmed by BleepingComputer to be a Conti ransomware attack.
While RRD initially said they were not aware of any client data stolen during the attack, on January 15th, the Conti ransomware gang claimed responsibility and began leaking 2.5GB of data allegedly stolen from RRD. However, a source told BleepingComputer that Conti soon removed the data from public view after RRD began further negotiations to prevent the release of data.
Yesterday, RRD released an additional 8-K filing confirming that data was stolen during the attack.
"The Company is keeping clients informed of any relevant updates on an ongoing basis and plans to take all appropriate measures to safeguard the integrity of the Company's data and clients' information."
The ransomware attack came just after announcing their definitive merger agreement to be acquired by Chatham Asset Management.
BleepingComputer has reached out to RRD with further questions related to the attack but did not receive a response.
