GoKawiilMaersk confirms breach of acquired logistics unit, WhiteArmor demands $5 million
Maersk has confirmed that attackers breached systems belonging to a company it had previously acquired, after ransomware group WhiteArmor claimed to have stolen roughly 100GB of data from its logistics and supply-chain platform and posted the company to its leak site demanding $5 million. Maersk says the breach is isolated to a local legacy system, with no evidence so far that sensitive data was disclosed or that other Maersk systems, customers, or partners were affected. The company has not disclosed which system was hit, what data types were involved, or when the intrusion occurred.
