Hardware accessory manufacturer Logitech confirmed a data breach where hackers, linked to the Russia-based ransomware group CL0P, exfiltrated 1.8 terabytes of company data. The breach exploited a zero-day vulnerability in a third-party software platform (suspected to be Oracle E-Business Suite). While the stolen data included limited information about employees, consumers, customers, and suppliers, Logitech asserted that no sensitive or customer-related details such as national ID numbers, financial records, or personally identifiable information (PII) were compromised, as such data was not stored on the affected systems. The attackers threatened to publicly release the stolen data unless ransom demands were met, but Logitech maintained that the incident did not disrupt business operations, manufacturing, or product functionality. The company engaged external cybersecurity firms to investigate and mitigate the breach, patching the vulnerability once a fix became available. CL0P had previously targeted other organizations using the same Oracle flaw in July 2023. Logitech filed an SEC Form 8-K disclosing the incident but downplayed its severity, emphasizing that the exposed data lacked critical sensitivity.
