All Sony Systems Claimed to Have Been Infiltrated!A ransomware group claims to have infiltrated 'all Sony systems'. Sony is “investigating the situation” after a hacker group threatened to sell allegedly stolen data.
Ransomware group Ransomed.vc claims to have successfully infiltrated Sony Group and is threatening to sell a cache of data stolen from the Japanese company.
Although its claims have not been verified, Cyber Security Connect reports that the new ransomware has “accumulated an impressive amount of victims” since bursting onto the scene last month.
“We successfully compromised all Sony systems,” the group claimed on both the open and dark networks. “We will not take ransom from them! We will sell the data. Because Sony doesn't want to pay. DATA IS FOR SALE.”
According to Cyber Security Connect, the group has released some evidence of hacking data, but says it “does not appear to be particularly compelling information.”
It includes screenshots of an internal login page, an internal PowerPoint presentation, several Java files, and a file tree of the leak that apparently contains fewer than 6.000 files.
The group has set a “release date” for September 28; If no one buys the data after this date, Ransomed.vc will probably release the data wholesale.
Ransomed.vc is said to be both a ransomware operator and a ransomware-as-a-service utility.
It claims to be a “secure solution to address data security vulnerabilities in companies” and also works “in strict compliance with GDPR and Data Privacy Laws.”
“In cases where payment is not received, we are obliged to report a Data Privacy Act violation to the GDPR authority!” the group said. says.
Most of Ransomed.vc's members reportedly operate outside Ukraine and Russia.
VGC has contacted Sony for comment on this report and we will update this if we hear back from the company.
In 2011, Sony's PlayStation Network suffered a major breach that resulted in the personal information of approximately 77 million accounts being compromised and the service being taken offline for 23 days.
Sony initially estimated that the hack would cost it more than $100 million, and was forced to apologize not only to gamers but also to developers whose game launches were disrupted or their online services became unavailable.
Sony eventually faced as many as 55 class-action lawsuits and agreed to offer compensation, including free games, to those affected.
"You are the lifeblood of the company," PlayStation's US boss Jack Tretton said at the time. “There would be no PlayStation without you. I want to apologize to you personally. It is you who make us humble and amazed by the support you continue to provide.”
Tretton told Sony's third-party publishing partners: “I know disruption is costly. We wouldn't be where we are without you.” “We are more committed than ever to ensuring the PlayStation experience is fun and safe for everyone,” added Tretton.
