DENSO suffers cyberattack by new Pandora ransomware gang

Automotive parts manufacturer DENSO has confirmed that it suffered a cyberattack after a new Pandora ransomware operation began leaking data allegedly stolen during the attack.

 

DENSO confirmed that their corporate network in Germany was breached. The company claims it had detected the illegal access and responded immediately to cut off the intruder from the rest of the network devices, limiting the impact to the German division only.

 

While DENSO states that the cyberattack has not caused an impact on their operations, the new Pandora ransomware gang has begun leaking 1.4TB of files allegedly stolen during the network breach.

 

The press statement read, “After the detecting the unauthorized access, DENSO promptly cut off the network connection of devices that received unauthorized access and confirmed that there is no impact on other DENSO facilities.”

 

DENSO has informed the local investigative authorities of the breach, so if the circulated files are authentic, copying, sharing, or publishing them would constitute a violation of the firm’s intellectual property rights. Samples of the leaked data include purchase orders, technical schematics, non-disclosure agreements, etc.

 

While Pandora is a ransomware gang with their own encryptor, it is unknown if they successfully encrypted files on DENSO's network before the attack was detected. Pandora ransomware is a new operation launched this month that targets corporate networks and steals data for double-extortion attacks.

 

Once they gain access to a network, the threat actors will spread laterally through a network while stealing unencrypted files to be used in extortion demands. As the ransomware operation is very new, it is unknown how they gain access to corporate networks and how much they demand as a ransom.
