The American beverage giant has started to investigate after the Stormous gang said that it successfully breached some of the company's servers and stole 161GB of data.
The threat actors listed a cache of the data for sale on their leak site, asking 1.65 Bitcoin, currently converted to around $64,000.
Closer to a data extortion group, Stormous has stated that they would take action against hacker attacks against Russia in the wake of the invasion into Ukraine.
The attack promised denial-of-service, hacking, leaking of software source code and client data.
There has been no confirmation about the legitimacy of the data, so Stormous' reputation about these claims has yet to be established.
Coca-Cola has not confirmed that their data was stolen.
