Data Leak…
Egregor ransomware published 1% of
Randstad’s stolen data this week during a
recent cyberattack. The leaked data is a
32.7MB archive consisting of 184 files
including financial reports, spreadsheets,
legal documents and other miscellaneous
business documents.
As soon as threat actors disclosed their data,
Randstad published a security notification
confirming the attack by Egregor ransomware
group and an internal investigation was
launched along with third-party cybersecurity
and forensic experts.
Randstad also admitted that only a limited
number of servers were affected and that their
network and business operations have
continued to operate without any disruption.
The company confirmed that the data was
stolen but is still investigating the type of data
stolen and whether it contained any details
related to its customers or employees.
At this time, the firm believes that the data
belonging to their operations in the US,
Poland, Italy, and France was stolen.
“To date, our investigation has revealed that
the Egregor group obtained unauthorised
and unlawful access to our global IT
environment and certain data, in particular
related to our operations in the US, Poland,
Italy and France,” disclosed Randstad.

“They have now published what is claimed to
be a subset of that data. The investigation is
ongoing to identify what data has been
accessed, including personal data, so that we
can take appropriate action with regard to
identifying and notifying relevant parties.” 
Egregor steals and then starts to publish a
little of stolen data which is easily traceable to
the victim organisation as proof. The
ransomware group then demands a ransom
sum in exchange for not releasing more data.
Egregor attacked other companies including
Kmart, Ubisoft, Barnes and Noble and
Cencosud.
