A ransomware group called Hunters International has published some of the data it claims to have stolen from Tata Technologies, just over a month after the Indian company confirmed a ransomware attack that resulted in the suspension of some services. The leaked data, published on the gang’s dark web leak site — which TechCrunch has seen — includes personal details about some current and former employees at Tata Technologies, as well as confidential information, including purchase orders and the company’s contracts with customers in India and the United States. It is unclear whether the data uploaded by the Hunters International ransomware group is related to the ransomware attack that Tata Technologies disclosed earlier this year. Founded in 1989 as an automotive unit of Tata Motors, Tata Technologies spun off as a separate company in 1994 and has been operating as a subsidiary of the Indian conglomerate Tata Group since. In late January, Tata Technologies informed Indian stock exchanges about a ransomware attack that affected “a few” of the company’s IT assets. Surfacing in late 2023, Hunters International is a relatively new ransomware-as-a-service group, which leases out its infrastructure to affiliate hackers who carry out ransomware attacks, and Hunters International takes a cut of the proceeds from ransom payments. The Hive gang leaked some of the data stolen by another Tata Group company, Tata Power, in 2022.
