Cybercrime actor DragonForce which claimed responsibility for the attack has also leaked 95 GB of data that it states, belongs to the company.
In a statement to BleepingComputer, Yakult Australia confirmed it was investigating a cyber incident that occurred in mid-December.
"We first became aware of a cyber incident on the morning of the 15th of December," wrote David Whatley, Yakult Australia's Director to BleepingComputer.
A cybercrime actor that calls itself 'DragonForce' has taken responsibility for the incident and listed Yakult Australia to its onion leak site on December 20th, while publicly threatening to leak 95.19 GB of data, which the group has now done.
With its slogan, "Companies that refused to cooperate," the DragonForce leak site is indicative of the threat actor first attempting to extort its victims for payment failing which, it publicly leaks assets and data stolen from these companies, much like other cybercriminal groups.
