Stolen ADATA information published online
Issue disclosure
Ragnar Locker ransomware operators published more than 700GB of data they said they stole from ADATA. The article says metadata suggested the files included ADATA financial documents, non-disclosure agreements and similar files; it was not possible to investigate precisely what the databases held.
Source excerpt
The archives were of varying sizes, ranging from 1.1GB, up to 300GB. Given that MEGA took the database offline relatively fast, it wasn’t possible to investigate precisely what the databases held. However, judging by the metadata, Ragnar Locker operators seem to have stolen ADATA documents on finances, various non-disclosure agreements, and other similar files.
After the Taiwanese memory and storage manufacturer ADATA decided not to pay a ransom, the Ragnar Locker ransomware operators kept their promise and posted more than 700GB of stolen confidential information online.
