The Swiss government has disclosed that a recent ransomware attack on an IT supplier might have impacted its data, while today, it warns that it is now targeted in DDoS attacks.
The situation reflects the complex threats affecting organizations and governments as they utilize third-party services to host data and publicly expose online services.
Ransomware attack exposes data
Last Tuesday, the Swiss government disclosed that they were impacted by a ransomware attack on Xplain, a Swiss technology provider supplying various government departments, administrative units, and even the country’s military force with software solutions.
The IT company was breached by the Play ransomware gang on May 23rd, 2023, with the threat actor claiming to have stolen various documents containing private and confidential data, financial and taxation details, etc.
On June 1st, 2023, the Play ransomware group published the entire dump, presumably after failing to extort Xplain into paying a ransom.
