Brief description of Incident: Occurrence date and time: 21/06/2024/09:52
Detection date and time: 21/06/2024/10:15

The ransomware attack targeted our organization, compromising critical customer databases containing sensitive
information. The attackers encrypted the data, rendering it inaccessible to the retailer, and subsequently demanded a
ransom payment for its decryption. Although the company had backups in place, the attackers threatened to publicly release
the compromised data unless their ransom demands were met. The potentially compromised data includes a range of
personal and transactional information, such as customer names, shipping addresses, email addresses, phone numbers,
purchase history, and partial credit card information (last 4 digits and expiration date). This attack poses significant risks to
the affected customers, as their personal and financial information may be exposed to unauthorized parties, leading to
potential identity theft, fraud, and other malicious activities.
