Deloitte UK Allegedly Experiences Cyber Incident, Data Stolen

/ 1 min read

Deloitte UK faces alleged cyber attack with over 1TB of data stolen. The Brain Cipher ransomware gang has claimed responsibility for the breach, listing Deloitte UK on their dark web site and threatening to release a sample of the stolen data in 11 days. They criticized Deloitte for poor information security practices and indicated that they would provide evidence of the breach. Although Deloitte has not confirmed the incident, they previously experienced a cyber attack in September, where internal communications were reportedly leaked due to an exposed server. Deloitte stated that their investigation found no immediate threat to client data. The Brain Cipher group, which emerged in June, has a history of targeting organizations and demanding ransoms, warning victims against involving authorities or third-party recovery services.
