According to the Russian satellite network, the British "Daily Mail" news on the 31st, the well-known British jeweler Graff was "virtually robbed" by a hacking group, and a large number of data and personal information were leaked, including former US President Trump, Hollywood star Alec Baldwin, British football star David Beckham and other well-known people from all walks of life around the world. Criminals have now demanded millions of ransoms.
The Daily Mail said Conti, a Russian-based hacking group, declared itself responsible for the attack. British media said that the hacking group is not a nobody. The gang had previously infiltrated a safety network of more than 400 organisations around the world, including a number of local government agencies in Scotland and Ireland.
Satellite Network said that the "Conti" hacking group targeted a customer data database inside jeweler Graff. The database contains private information such as customer lists, shipping addresses, billing addresses, invoices, receipts and credit histories.
After the ransomware attack, many of Graff's customers were reportedly implicated, including former US President Trump and his wife Melania, American Hollywood stars Tom Hanks and Alec Baldwin and others. In addition, it was reported that about 600 British customers were also listed, including British football stars David Beckham and Frank Lampard.
Satellite Network mentioned that criminals have leaked about 69,000 confidential privacy documents to the "dark web", and they claim that the leaked data accounts for only 1% of the files it stole, implicating about 11,000 customers of Graff.
"Regrettably, we, like some other businesses, have recently been subjected to a sophisticated but limited cyberattack by a group of professional and targeted criminals." A Graff spokesperson said, "We have informed our customers whose personal data has been affected and have advised them to take appropriate action." ”
Satellite Said the Uk's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said it had launched an investigation into the incident.
Recently, ransomware attacks have been frequent around the world. On May 7, the Colonial Pipeline Company in the United States was attacked by a cybercrime gang and interrupted network operations, causing the U.S. government to activate an emergency law on May 9 local time to respond. Then, in early July, the U.S. technology company Cassia was attacked by a ransomware attack, and the company's CEO Fred Woccola said on July 5 that 800 to 1500 companies around the world were affected.
