BianLian Hits Republic Shipping

January 17, 2024
Reading Time: 3 mins read
in Incidents

Republic Shipping Consolidators, a major logistics company, has fallen victim to a cyberattack orchestrated by the infamous BianLian ransomware group. The group boldly claimed responsibility for the attack on its dark web channel and exposed a massive 117 GB of sensitive information on its data leak site. The compromised data includes a wide range of critical details such as accounting records, financial data, emails, files from employee PCs, and operational documents. The severity of the breach raises concerns not only for the logistics company but also for the individuals and entities linked to the compromised data.

Despite the reported cyberattack, Republic Shipping Consolidators’ website remains operational, suggesting that the hackers may have targeted the backend of the site, potentially gaining unauthorized access to databases rather than compromising the front end. The BianLian ransomware group, known for its malicious activities since June 2022, operates as a cybercriminal group involved in developing, deploying, and extorting data. Their modus operandi includes gaining access to victim systems through valid Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) credentials and employing open-source tools for discovery and credential harvesting.

The BianLian group has shifted its tactics from a double-extortion model to primarily exfiltration-based extortion since January 2023. In case victims refuse to pay the ransom, the group resorts to threatening the release of exfiltrated data on a Tor network-based leak site. Authorities such as the FBI, CISA, and ACSC jointly urge critical infrastructure organizations and small- to medium-sized enterprises to implement recommended mitigations against BianLian and other ransomware incidents. The group’s tactics involve issuing unique Tox IDs for each victim organization and pressuring victims through various means, including printing ransom notes to compromised network printers and making threatening telephone calls to employees associated with victim companies.
