Adaptavist Group breach: Ransomware crew claims mega-haul

"Adaptavist's CEO Simon Haighton-Williams stated that the company detected an 'IT security incident' in late March after an attacker used compromised login details to gain unauthorized access to some of its systems."

"The ransomware group 'The Gentlemen' claimed responsibility for the breach, boasting of a 'complete infrastructure compromise' and a cache of stolen data, including hundreds of thousands of alleged customer records."

"The official line from Adaptavist is that the systems accessed contained 'typical business data,' such as contact information, contracts, and NDAs related to client work."

"According to Trend Micro, the ransomware group is a newcomer with a routine of gaining access using valid credentials, moving quietly, and lifting data to use as leverage."

The Adaptavist Group is addressing a security breach after an intruder accessed its systems using stolen credentials. The company detected the incident in late March and has engaged external security specialists for a forensic investigation. Initial reports indicate that only typical business data was accessed, including contact information and contracts. However, a ransomware group named 'The Gentlemen' claims to have compromised the entire infrastructure and stolen a vast amount of data, including customer records and source code, raising concerns about the extent of the breach.
