The group RansomExx is claiming responsibility for the attack, Recorded Future reports. They allegedly stole 112GB of company data during the intrusion, and are threatening to dump the files unless Gigabyte pays up.
RansomExx has already created a private page on the dark web that contains alleged samples of the stolen files. “We have downloaded 112 GB (120,971,743,713 bytes) of your files and we are ready to PUBLISH it. Many of them are under NDA (Intel, AMD, American Megatrends),” the extortion page says, according to Recorded Future. ================================================================== Does the dumping of companies' data from ransomware attacks have to keep happening? By using Wave solutions, the answer is no!!! With Wave solutions, the unauthorized devices don't have access to the organization's network so they don't have access to the data!!! This attack wouldn't have happened if Gigabyte was using Wave solutions!!! ================================================================== http://www.wavesys.com/products/embassy%C2%AE-remote-administration-server-tpm-management
