The group has published some schematics, guidelines and statements as proof of leakage.
Ransomware disruption
Early signs of the cyber attack reportedly started on Friday, with Tech Radar noting that several Foxconn employees had trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, following which employees returned home or to the old school pen and paper operations.
“Some of Foxconn’s factories in North America suffered a cyberattack,” said a Foxconn spokesperson talking to The Register.
“The cybersecurity team immediately activated the response mechanism and implemented multiple operational measures to ensure the continuity of production and delivery. The affected factories are currently resuming normal production.”
The company did not confirm any other claims made by the hackers.
History of attacks
Foxconn is no stranger to ransomware. Back in December 2020, DoppelPaymer attack targeting the company wreaked destruction.
Foxconn was attacked by Lockbit, at a manufacturing facility in Mexico in 2022. Another Lockbit attack later ravaged Foxsemicon, a Foxconn subsidiary in 2024.
“As a major electronics manufacturing partner to some of the world’s largest technology firms, Foxconn represents a high-value target for cybercriminals,” says James Neilson, SVP of Global at OPSWAT.
