Exploit: Ransomware
RR Donnelly: Marketing & Communications Firm
Risk to Business: 1.227= Severe
Major marketing company RR Donnelly has disclosed that they had data stolen in a December cyberattack attributed to ransomware. The Conti ransomware group is suspected to be to blame. In the attack on December 27, 2021, the company experienced a systems intrusion that led it to shut down its network to prevent the attack’s spread. That led to disruptions for customers, with some unable to receive printed documents required for vendor payments, disbursement checks and motor vehicle documentation. The Conti ransomware gang claimed responsibility on January 15 and began leaking 2.5GB of the stolen data that has since been removed.
Individual Impact: No specifics about consumer/employee PII or financial data loss were available at press time.
Customers Impacted: Unknown
How It Could Affect Your Customers’ Business: A recent rash of ransomware attacks against media and communications organizations should have everyone in that sector on notice.
