   Hacked Tata Technologies data leaked by ransomware gang   
      
   Date:   
   Thu, 13 Mar 2025 11:00:00 +0000   
      
   Description:   
   Excel sheets, PDF files, and more, are being leaked.   
      
   FULL STORY   
   ======================================================================   
    - Hunters International have added Tata Technologies files to its leak site   
    - The files include Excel sheets, presentations, and more   
    - The ransomware group tried selling the archives a few weeks ago   
      
   Hunters International, the ransomware operator behind the attacks on the   
   Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), US Marshals Service, and   
   others, has leaked some of the data it stole from Tata Technologies earlier   
   this year.    
      
   Reporters from TechCrunch have reportedly seen the information being posted    
   on the groups dark web data leak site.    
      
   In total, Hunters International is leaking 1.4TB of Tata Technologies data,   
   which include personal details on current and former employees, and   
   confidential information such as purchase orders. In total, more than 730,000   
   documents (Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, PDF files, and   
   similar) are being leaked.   
      
   Selling the data    
      
   The company suffered a ransomware attack in February this year. The incident   
   crippled parts of its IT operation, forcing the firm to temporarily suspend   
   some IT services. It wasnt known at the time who the attackers were.    
      
   This isnt the first ransomware incident the firm has suffered, as Tata   
   Technologies is part of the huge Indian conglomerate Tata Group - which    
   boasts over 100 companies across a range of industries - so is a pretty   
   attractive target for hackers.    
      
   Back in October 2022, Tata Power reported a ransomware attack, whilst Tata   
   Steel fell victim in 2021 to a gang dubbed REvil, and Tata Teleservices was   
   reportedly targeted in 2023 - illustrating just how often the firm is hit.    
      
   A few weeks ago, news broke that Hunters International was selling the    
   dataset on the dark web for an undisclosed sum of money.
