Yamaha ‘s Canadian music division is confirming a cyber-attack on the company after two separate ransomware groups claimed responsibility. This is the Yamaha corporation considered the world’s largest producer of musical equipment, not the motorcycle company. On June 14th the Black Byte ransomware gang listed Yamaha on its breach website.
But on Friday Yamaha appeared on the Kira ransomware groups leak site:
In a statement last Thursday (7/20), Yamaha Canada Music confirmed that it “recently encountered a cyberattack that led to unauthorized access and data theft,” and “swiftly implemented measures to contain the attack…” The company has been notifying affected individuals and offering credit monitoring services to those at risk from the attack. “Additionally, we have taken decisive actions to reinforce our network defenses and ensure enhanced security measures moving forward.”
Carol Volk, EVP, BullWall had this to say:
“Thank you for the credit monitoring, but we’d really prefer our data wasn’t stolen in the first place. Organizations simply need to get more aggressive in stopping ransomware attacks. Identifying and protecting against known strains is a losing battle. It didn’t work for antivirus and it’s not working for ransomware. More needs to be done to not just detect that these zero-day attacks are in progress, but to contain the spread and the damage.”
Really, the fact that I keep writing about this sort of thing on a daily basis is starting to get tiring. Companies really need to do something to stop this sort of pwnage from happening. It’s the right thing to do for the companies. And more importantly us.
