April 2022 by Patrick McBride CMO at Beyond Identity
Following news that Coca Cola has suffered a ‘data breach’ via Stormous ransomware gang, Patrick McBride CMO at Beyond Identity comments the following:
“Security researchers will take some time to sort out whether Stormous is actually a Russian entity, or a group using fake claims and the Russian invasion of Ukraine to help hide its real origins. One thing is certain - ransomware attacks, especially those that use the threat of leaked data, rather than just a payment for encryption keys, will continue to rise. Why? Because it works.”
