ALPHV-BlackCat puts data from Meyer & Meyer on the dark web

Behind the attack on the Osnabrück logistics company Meyer & Meyer is the APT group ALPHV or BlackCat. Various company documents are published on their leak page on the dark web. 

Already on December 6th there was a successful cyber attack on the systems of the well-known textile logistics company Meyer & Meyer. When visiting its website, the company still states that it is working on the consequences of the cyber attack. Meyer & Meyer openly communicated the attack on its systems, but did not provide any further information on the scope and the exact effects.

Individual data published on the dark web

It is clear that logistics company Meyer & Meyer was hit by ransomware from APT group ALPHV or BlackCat. On their leak page on the Darknet, there are currently individual documents that come from the company. However, it is currently not clear whether the blackmail is continuing or whether only the individual documents that can be seen were stolen. The company itself only gives a hint on its website:

“Following the attack on our IT infrastructure, we are restoring business operations to securely fulfill customer orders. Our employees will gradually use their usual e-mail addresses again. At the time of the ongoing investigation, it must be assumed that data was stolen by the attacker. A final assessment is pending. Nevertheless, it is important for us to raise awareness of this. We assure you that we are using this incident to reaffirm our 100% commitment to cybersecurity principles and our commitment to be your partner in safety and security.” according to Meyer & Meyer.

Ransomware from ALPHV or BlackCat

It can be assumed that Meyer & Meyer is not willing to pay for the decryption by the ransomware. Because with the documents in the Darknet the English note can be found “Your clients here. The company don't care about it. so sad”. In other words, “It belongs to the customers – but the company doesn’t care. So unfortunate." The next few weeks will show whether the APT group ALPHV or BlackCat has captured more data and also published it on the Darknet.
