A cyberattack orchestrated by the notorious ALPHV ransomware group has been reported as a direct result of the catastrophic impact on the Japanese Aviation Electronics Industry (JAE). The BlackCat hackers have also been blamed for the attack.
It was confirmed on November 6 that Japan Aviation Electronics was the victim of a cyberattack on November 2, 2023, which was officially confirmed the following day in an official press release. An external party had gained access to some of the company’s servers without authorization from the Internet as a result of finding some servers inaccessible.
It is unclear what type of data the cybercrooks might have gained access to and how many details the attackers provided about the breach.
The ALPHV/Black Cat ransomware gang, which is a gang of cybercriminals, recently added Toyota Aviation Electronics to its list of leak websites, but the company has not yet confirmed whether it is a victim of a ransomware attack or not.
Recent months have seen a spate of incidents targeting some of the country’s biggest companies, with the latest attack occurring shortly after.
In the past few months, many companies, including watchmaker Seiko, YKK, pharmaceutical company Eisai, and Japan’s largest trading port, have been targeted by cybercriminals for ransomware attacks.
