The Cactus ransomware gang claims they stole 1.5TB of data from Schneider Electric after breaching the company's network last month.
As BleepingComputer first reported, the ransomware group gained access to the energy management and automation giant's Sustainability Business division on January 17th. The gang is now extorting the company, threatening to leak all the allegedly stolen data if a ransom demand is not paid.
Cactus ransomware is a relatively new operation that surfaced in March 2023 with double-extortion attacks.
Since its emergence, the Cactus ransomware has added over 100 companies to its data leak site.
