Hitachi Hacked, Chinese Espionage, & VeriSource Hacked
Based on the sources, the key topics focus on recent cybersecurity incidents. One significant event detailed is a ransomware attack against Hitachi Vantara, where the company took servers offline to contain the incident attributed to the Akira ransomware operation. Akira has impacted over 300 organizations and collected millions in ransom payments. The sources also describe a Chinese espionage campaign by a group called PurpleHaze, which attempted reconnaissance against cybersecurity company SentinelOne's infrastructure and customers. This group utilizes tools like ORB networks and backdoors such as GoReShell and ShadowPad. Furthermore, a data breach at VeriSource Services is reported, impacting four million people by exposing sensitive personal data including names, addresses, dates of birth, genders, and Social Security numbers. Although the incident occurred in February 2024, the full scope wasn't determined until April 2025, leading to delayed notifications.
