Ransomware Group BlackCat Claims Responsibility for Seiko Cyberattack

The ransomware group, BlackCat (also known as ALPHV), has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Japanese watchmaker Seiko’s IT infrastructure. The breach may have compromised sensitive data, including production plans and watch designs. This follows a recent attack on the UK’s National Health Service, also claimed by BlackCat, emphasizing the ongoing threat posed by ransomware groups and the need for robust cybersecurity measures.
