The ransomware crew 8Base claims to have stolen confidential Volkswagen files, threatening publication. However, Volkswagen insists its IT infrastructure remains unaffected and the incident is not new.
A Volkswagen spokesperson confirmed, 'The incident is known. The IT infrastructure of the Volkswagen group is not affected. We continue to monitor the situation closely...'
The 8Base group, identified in 2022, has engaged in extortion while drawing from the Phobos ransomware but has recently been quiet, hinting at possible internal reorganizations.
Despite claiming to have stolen vast amounts of Volkswagen's confidential information, including personal data and employment contracts, 8Base's threat to publish the data remains unfulfilled.
