	"plain_text": "Package delivery giant Pitney Bowes confirms second ransomware\r\nattack in 7 months\r\nBy Written by Catalin Cimpanu, ContributorContributor May 11, 2020 at 9:13 a.m. PT\r\nArchived: 2026-04-05 19:43:55 UTC\r\nPackage and mail delivery giant Pitney Bowes has suffered a second ransomware attack in the past seven months,\r\nZDNet has learned.\r\nThe incident came to light today after a ransomware gang known as Maze published a blog post claiming to have\r\nbreached and encrypted the company's network.\r\nThe Maze crew provided proof of access in the form of 11 screenshots portraying directory listings from inside the\r\ncompany's computer network.\r\npitney-bowes-maze-proof.png\r\nPitney Bowes confirmed the incident today in an email to ZDNet.\r\n\"Recently, we detected a security incident related to Maze ransomware. We are investigating the scope of the\r\nattack, specifically the type of data that had been accessed, which appears to be limited,\" a spokesperson said.\r\nThe company said it worked with third-party security consultants to take steps to stop the attack before any of its\r\ndata was encrypted.\r\n\"At this point, there is no evidence of further unauthorised access to our IT systems,\" Pitney Bowes said, while\r\nalso adding that \"the investigation remains ongoing.\"\r\nSecond incident after the October 2019 Ryuk infection\r\nhttps://www.zdnet.com/article/package-delivery-giant-pitney-bowes-confirms-second-ransomware-attack-in-7-months/\r\nPage 1 of 2\n\nIn October 2019, Pitney Bowes disclosed a first ransomware attack. At the time, the company said it had some\r\ncritical systems infected and encrypted by the Ryuk ransomware gang. The incident caused limited downtime to\r\nsome package tracking systems.\r\nBoth the Ryuk and Maze ransomware gangs are what experts call \"human-operated\" ransomware strains. These\r\ntypes of ransomware infections take place after hackers breach a company's network, and take manual control of\r\nthe malware to expand access to as many internal systems as possible before executing the actual ransomware to\r\nencrypt data and demand a ransom.\r\nThe Maze gang is different from Ryuk, though, as Maze also runs a website where it lists victims and leaks\r\nsensitive data if they don't pay the decryption (ransom) fee. Maze pioneered this tactic, and is currently one of\r\nnine ransomware gangs that run a \"leak site.\"\r\nThe Maze gang has been very active this year, being behind a large number of high-profile ransomware infections,\r\nsuch as Chubb, Cognizant, Bouygues Construction, Southwire, the city of Pensacola, and more. Cyber-security\r\nfirms Crowdstrike, FireEye, and Palo Alto Networks have recently noted this increase in activity from the Maze\r\ngang and have published reports analyzing the Maze gang's tactics and malware payloads.\r\nIn 2019, Pitney Bowes had more than 11,000 employees and pulled $3.2 billion in revenue. The company has\r\nexpanded from its classic postage meter business and is one of today's most important delivery services for the e-commerce sector.\r\nBeing the victim of a human-operated ransomware gang is bad enough, but getting hit by two different gangs\r\nraises serious questions.\r\nThe FBI's most wanted cybercriminals\r\nSecurity\r\nSource: https://www.zdnet.com/article/package-delivery-giant-pitney-bowes-confirms-second-ransomware-attack-in-7-months/\r\nhttps://www.zdnet.com/article/package-delivery-giant-pitney-bowes-confirms-second-ransomware-attack-in-7-months/\r\nPage 2 of 2",
