BlackCat Trolls Western Digital With Leaked Response Meeting Image

infosecbulletin Tuesday , May 2 2023 Data Breach, International

The ransomware actor–threat hunter relationship just got extremely personal.

The BlackCat gang decided to add the professional reputations of the Western Digital cyber-incident response team to the hit list when it hacked into its early morning videoconference convened to discuss the recent ransomware attack against the company. The ransomware group then posted a screen capture of the meeting online.

The response team meeting image, with faces blurred, was shared by cyber researcher Dominic Alvieri on Twitter. Alvieri called the meeting leak a “black eye for Western Digital,” in his tweet.

Along with the image of the team meeting, BlackCat added a caption sarcastically referring to the team as “the finest threat hunters Western Digital has to offer.”

Western Digital, a digital storage device manufacturer, reported that its systems were compromised on March 26. According to reports, the company was negotiating an eight-figure ransomware payment.
