Copper Steel Fabricators allegedly subjected to data breach

Cooper Steel Fabricators, a leading U.S. structural steel fabricator that counts Amazon among its clients, was claimed to have been breached by a threat actor, who has offered a "complete mirror" of the firm's FTP server with 330 GB of data in exchange for $28,500 in cryptocurrency, reports Cybernews.

Allegedly included in the data trove were multiple models, drawings, and frames used in Cooper Steel projects, such as the Publix Greensboro Refrigerated Distribution Center and Amazon's data center in Ohio, with the latter purportedly having hyperscale data center operation structural specifications and other details leaked. Further analysis of the threat actor's listing revealed data from a Massachusetts-based Amazon sorting facility.

Walmart distribution centers, cold storage facilities, and other structures also had their 3D models, drawings, and data included in the peddled FTP server mirror, according to Cybernews researchers. Cooper Steel has yet to acknowledge the data breach claims.
