Saudi Aramco confirms that corporate data was leaked after attackers breached one of its suppliers. Extortionists demand $50 million in Monero cryptocurrency in an extortion attempt. The company says its internal IT systems were not affected, and that its operations continue to function normally. The leak investigation is ongoing, but there is no evidence to support the hacker’s claim that the data was taken after a zero-day vulnerability in a cloud storage platform was exploited. In 2012, the company was hit with wiper malware known as Shamoon, which disabled tens of thousands of workstations.”]
