As cyber attacks continue to increase around the world, these attacks can negatively affect especially large companies. In the past days, the supercar giant Ferrari has come to the fore with a striking claim.
According to some reports in the Italian press, confidential documents, data, repair manuals of vehicles and “other information” belonging to Ferrari were seized by hackers. The seized documents and information were shared publicly as a 6.99 GB file. A statement came from Ferrari regarding the hacking claim.
The files are on the internet but there is no sign of the cyber attack:
Ferrari confirmed that information and documents belonging to the company were shared online. However, the company explained that they have not yet learned how the cyber-attack took place, and that they could not find any trace of the cyber-attack or ransomware on their systems. Ferrari also stated that the cyberattack did not affect the company’s operations.
In the news where the allegations were made, it was stated that the group that hacked Ferrari was ‘Ransom EXX’. Known to have been operating since 2018, the group has so far gained notoriety by targeting government agencies, famous manufacturers and important names. The group is known to use the ransomware of the same name.
With this attack, Ferrari suffered its second cyber attack in less than a year. In December 2021, a group called Everest hacked the Italian manufacturer Speroni and shared a 900 GB file. The files in question contained sensitive information belonging to Ferrari, Lamborghini, Fiat Group and other Italian giants.
