Cactus ransomware claims to steal 1.5 terabytes of Schneider Electric data

The Cactus ransomware gang claims to have stolen 1.5TB of data from Schneider Electric after breaching its network last month. The group gained access to the company's Sustainability Business division on January 17th and is now extorting the company, threatening to leak all the stolen data if a ransom demand is not paid. The data stolen could include sensitive information about customers' industrial control and automation systems and environmental and energy regulations compliance. Schneider Electric, a French energy and automation manufacturing multinational, employs over 150,000 people worldwide and reported a $28.5 billion revenue in 2023. The Cactus ransomware gang has added over 100 companies to its data leak site, with some data leaked online or threatening to do so while still negotiating a ransom.
