Cactus ransomware gang claims it stole 1.5TB of Schneider Electric data

The Cactus ransomware gang claimed it stole 1.5 terabytes of data from Schneider Electric, posting a fraction online as proof. Schneider confirmed “certain data” had been obtained while negotiations are reportedly ongoing. Experts suggested the attackers likely have a large number of documents, noting Schneider’s recent history of software vulnerabilities. While it is unclear if Schneider will pay a ransom, analysts stressed such a decision involves multiple considerations including value of the data and potential encouragement of future attacks.
