OfficeZilla, a U.S.-based organization, has reportedly fallen victim to a cyberattack orchestrated by the RansomHub ransomware group.
According to claims made by the group on their dark web portal, they have successfully breached OfficeZilla’s database and have sensitive organizational data.
The attackers have further threatened to release the stolen data within 10 to 11 days if their demands are not met.
To substantiate their claims, RansomHub has shared sample screenshots of the allegedly compromised data on their dark web platform.
While the exact nature and scope of the stolen information remain unclear at this stage, such incidents often involve sensitive corporate details, employee records, or customer data.
OfficeZilla has yet to release an official statement addressing the breach or outlining any mitigation efforts being undertaken.
California Tool and Welding Supply Also Hit
According to reports from FalconFeeds.io, In a separate incident, California Tool and Welding Supply, another U.S.-based company, has also been targeted by the same ransomware group.
RansomHub claims to have accessed approximately 70 GB of data from this organization and has similarly threatened to publish it within 8 to 9 days unless their demands are met.
As with the OfficeZilla breach, sample screenshots of the stolen data have been shared on the group’s dark web portal.
The dual attacks highlight an alarming trend of ransomware groups targeting businesses across various sectors in the United States.
The implications for both companies could be severe, ranging from reputational damage and financial losses to potential legal consequences if customer or employee data is exposed.
Rising Threat of Ransomware Attacks
Ransomware attacks like those carried out by RansomHub continue to pose significant challenges for organizations worldwide.
These attacks often involve encrypting or stealing critical data and demanding ransom payments in exchange for its safe return or non-disclosure.
The rise in such incidents underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures, including regular system updates, employee training, and comprehensive incident response plans.
As ransomware groups grow more sophisticated in their tactics, businesses must remain vigilant against potential threats.
