ASBIS

The Czech branch of Asbis fell victim to a ransomware attack which paralyzed internal systems and compromised data.

The Avaddon threat actors managed to steal and encrypt internal data and now threatens to publish it if it does not receive a ransom.

The threat actors also posted a number of files as samples of what they claim to have accessed and exfiltrated and threatened to publish more and target the firm with a DDoS attack to further cripple it.
