Hyundai Motor Europe and a California union separately this week revealed they had suffered cyberattacks last month and lost data to the respective threat actors.
Black Basta, a group that first appeared in 2022 as a double-extortion operator, claimed to have stolen 3TB of data from Hyundai Motor Europe.
The carmaker has not confirmed it suffered a ransomware attack, nor the boasts by Black Basta.
Another group affiliated with ransomware activity, LockBit, claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Service Employees International Union Local 1000 in California.
According to the ransomware gang, it stole 308GB of data from the union, including employee information such as Social Security numbers, salary information, and financial documents.
The union released a statement on Facebook confirming that it experienced a network disruption on Jan. 18.
Its statement appeared to hint that the attack was ransomware-related.
