Security News > 2023 > October > Motel One discloses data breach following ransomware attack
The Motel One Group has announced that it has been targeted by ransomware actors who managed to steal some customer data, including the details of 150 credit cards.
According to the company's press release, a group of unknown attackers infiltrated its network, intending to launch a ransomware attack, but had limited success thanks to its effective protective measures.
"The currently unknown perpetrators infiltrated the hotel operator's internal systems and most likely tried to carry out a so-called ransomware attack," reads the press release.
The hotel's claims about limited impact are directly countered by the threat actors who took responsibility for the attack, the BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware gang.
BlackCat has given Motel One five days to negotiate the ransom payment with them; otherwise, they threaten to leak all the data they stole from the hotel's computers.
MGM casino's ESXi servers allegedly encrypted in ransomware attack.
