Ransomware Group Demanding $50M In Accenture Security Breach: Cyber Firm

Excerpts:

Ultimately, Grosfield said it’s “no surprise” to see ransomware groups going after IT service providers such as Accenture.

“The only surprise is that it took the bad guys this long to figure out that service providers are a pretty juicy target,” he said.

The Accenture incident is a reminder of the axiom “physician, heal thyself”—that IT service providers need to ensure that their own systems are secure in order to remain credible in recommending security measures for their own customers, Grosfield said.

“If you’re not well protected, then you’re not well positioned to be able to protect others,” he said.

The threat actor is demanding the $50 million in exchange for more than 6 TB of data, according to a tweet from Cyble, a dark web and cybercrime monitoring firm.
