The RansomEXX ransomware gang is claiming responsibility for the cyberattack against Bombardier Recreational Products, disclosed by the company on August 8, 2022.
BRP employs over 20,000 people, counts close to $6 billion in annual sales, and distributes various products in more than120 countries, so even a minimal disruption in its production can have a serious financial impact.
In the same statement, the company presented the first results of its internal investigation, saying that the hackers breached its systems via a supply chain attack.
"The Company confirms that the malware infiltration came through a third-party service provider. BRP believes that the impact of the cyberattack was limited to its internal systems," the company states.
Yesterday, the RansomEXX gang listed Bombardier Recreational Products on its leak site along with 29.9GB of files allegedly stolen from the firm.
Last year, RansomEXX hit some high-profile companies, such as Taiwanese hardware giant GIGABYTE, logistics firm Hellmann Worldwide, Ecuador's state-owned telco CNT, and Italian luxury fashion house Zegna.
