ADATA was hit by the Ragnar Locker ransomware gang, where allegedly stolen sensitive data was published on its leak sites.
Taiwanese memory and chip maker ADATA manufactures high-performance DRAM memory modules, memory cards and other products.
The group published a set of 13 archives, allegedly containing sensitive data stolen from the chipmaker.
On Saturday, the ransomware actor announced on their leak site the download links to a new set of ADATA corporate documents, warning interested parties that the links would not survive for long.
"!Attention Password for the Archives: XXXXXXXXXXX#1JLDiw8″ reads the post published by the group on its leak site. !!Inside some Packs, you will find sub-archives with separate password, for such cases there are txt file with special password, please check everything carefully"
Two of the leaked archives are pretty large, weighing over 100GB, but several of them that could have been easily downloaded are less than 1.1GB large.
The group alleges to have stolen 1.5TB of sensitive data from ADATA, including financial documents, non-disclosure agreements, contracts and other files. The gang also disclosed some screenshots as proof of data possession.
The Ragnar Locker ransomware gang initially published the archive on the popular MEGA storage service. The platform closed the threat actor's account, denying access to any files they had shared publicly.
According to BleepingComputer, the ransomware attack took place on May 23rd, 2021, forcing the company to shut down its systems to restrict the infection.
“The company successfully suspended the affected systems as soon as the attack was detected, and all following necessary efforts have been made to recover and upgrade the related IT security systems," reported ADATA.
