MOVEit Campaign Impacts Organizations

August 29, 2023
Reading Time: 2 mins read
in News

A recent extensive hacking campaign carried out by the Cl0p ransomware gang targeting the MOVEit Transfer file transfer platform has shaken the cybersecurity landscape. Approximately 1,000 organizations have fallen victim to this wave of MOVEit attacks, revealing the magnitude of the breach.

Cybersecurity firm Emsisoft has shed light on the alarming details of this campaign, which exploited a zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2023-34362) to compromise the platforms used by global organizations, resulting in the theft of valuable data. The aftermath of the breach discloses a concerning impact on an estimated 60,144,069 individuals.

The implications of this attack span across sectors and nations, with U.S.-based organizations accounting for the majority of known victims. Sectors such as finance, professional services, and education have been hit the hardest, constituting significant proportions of the incidents. The incident’s financial consequences are substantial, with an estimated cost of $9,923,771,385 based on data from IBM’s “Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023.”

However, the total impact might be even higher, considering that many victims have yet to report the number of individuals affected. The breach highlights the challenges organizations face in securing their data and supply chains, particularly in the context of attacks exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities, which are notoriously difficult to defend against.

The gravity of the incident has prompted cybersecurity firm Resecurity to confirm the data presented by Emsisoft. As of August 23, Resecurity reported that 963 public and private sector organizations have been hit by the MOVEit campaign.

This relentless assault has left sectors like finance, professional services, and education reeling, collectively constituting a significant portion of the reported victims. The projected ransom payouts by Cl0p ransomware, ranging from $75 million to $100 million, further cement its status as one of the most significant cyberattacks in history. The incident’s aftermath underscores the imperative for organizations to not only address remediation but also provide credit monitoring and prepare for the likelihood of facing multiple lawsuits.
