A Toshiba Business Unit Says It Has Been Attacked By Hacking Group DarkSide (cnbc.com) 9
A division of Toshiba said in a statement on Friday that its European business has been hit by a cyberattack by cyber criminal group DarkSide, which is the same group that the U.S. FBI blamed for the Colonial Pipeline attack. According to a Toshiba spokesperson, the attack occurred the evening of May 4. CNBC reports: The Toshiba unit, which sells self-checkout technology and point-of-sale systems to retailers, told CNBC that it has not paid a ransom. "They required money, but we didn't contact them and didn't pay any money," a spokesperson said. Toshiba Tec said that a "minimal" amount of work data was stolen in a ransomware attack. No leaks of the data have been detected so far and protective measures were put in place after the cyber-attack, the company said.

Let make an example of ALL of them!
While it is a very interesting exercise to find and exploit these security lacks, it is inhumane to destroy the finances, the freedoms, the lives of people. Especially the innocent, everyday people who use the devices and services these DarkSide criminals are damaging and destroying!
