Taiwanese chip maker ADATA denies claims of a RansomHouse cyberattack after the threat actors began posting stolen files on their data leak site.
The RansomHouse gang added ADATA files to their data leak site on Tuesday, claiming they stole 1TB worth of documents in a 2022 cyberattack.
In a statement to BleepingComputer, ADATA says it had not suffered a recent cyberattack and that the leaked files are from a May 2021 RagnarLocker ransomware attack when 1.5 TB of data was stolen.
"After the hit by Ragnar Locker in 2021, ADATA retained information security experts and implemented effective methods to set up strong protection. Since then, no attack to ADATA was successful. None of confidential information of ADATA was leaked."
Comparing the timestamps on the data shared by RansomHouse with the data leaked by Ragnar Locker in June 2021, both sets of stolen data have similar timestamps, with no file being newer than May 2021.
RansomHouse continues to claim they breached ADATA recently in a data theft attack and that they had negotiated with the company on the stolen data.
