Such a development comes after the emergence of a ransom note from RansomHub said to be related to the incident although Halliburton has not yet been added to the ransomware gang's leak site.
Infiltration of certain CBIZ databases through the exploitation of a web page vulnerability enabled the theft of individuals' names, birth/death dates, Social Security numbers, contact details, retiree health information, and welfare plan details between June 2 and June 21.
Data leaked by the threat actor "Satanic" was divided into three CSV files, the first of which contained the full names, phone numbers, phone carriers, country, city, and timezone details, and unique record identifiers for 646,442 individuals around the world who may have had their locations tracked by Tracelo.
Such an intrusion was noted by Halliburton in an email to suppliers to have involved the "maintenance.exe" file, which was confirmed to be an encryptor leveraged by the ransomware gang.
"The Company's investigation of the incident remains ongoing. Based on the Company's current knowledge of the facts and circumstances related to this incident, the Company believes that this incident is not material," said Dick's in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
While Microchip has not provided any comment regarding the claims, Play's admission a full week after the company's breach disclosure to the Securities and Exchange Commission reveals an extension from the 72-hour deadline given for a ransom payment.
