Russian ransomware gang Clop has published stolen data from Philips and Shell on the dark web, according to an investigation by the BNR news radio show. Clop alleges having obtained 89 gigabytes of data, including construction drawings, photos of facilities, scans of test reports, and project plans from Shell.
The gang had claimed in August that it stole the information from the Dutch firms. At the time, Shell and Philips told BNR that they were investigating the case.
BNR reviewed the Philips data from the dark web and sent several files to the company for verification. They included technical drawings of MRI scanners and other medical equipment. Information about Philips’ IT infrastructure was also found. BNR could not access Shell’s data.
Clop, which is also spelled Cl0p, first came to notice in 2019 when it first offered ransomware software services. It now focuses more on data theft and extortion, according to the BNR.
Recently, in another case involving data theft, cybercriminals had tried extorting Flink customers. The hackers, who allegedly had 1 million stolen Flink records, wanted the victims to pay 0.005 ether, which is around 12 euros, to prevent the data from appearing on the dark web. After absolutely no one allegedly paid, the group is now reportedly selling the stolen records to the highest bidder.
