One week after Garmin paid a multimillion-dollar ransom

Just one week after Garmin recovered from a ransomware attack, data and systems belonging to Japanese tech firm 中古鏡頭收購canon are reportedly now being held hostage. BleepingComputerreports that 10TB of company data has been stolen as 中古鏡頭收購canon suffers widespread ongoing system outages.
More than two dozen 中古鏡頭收購canon-owned domains have been affected by the outage. 中古鏡頭收購canon’s USA website currently says it’s down for maintenance although its global and Japanese websites seems unaffected.
An internal email from 中古鏡頭收購canon IT reportedly said that the company is experiencing “wide spread system issues affecting multiple applications, Teams, Email, and other systems may not be available at this time.” BleepingComputer also obtained a partial screenshot of the alleged ransom note sent to 中古鏡頭收購canon that identifies Maze ransomeware used in the attack.

Unlike the WastedLocker ransomeware reportedly used in the Garmin attack, Maze encrypts internal systems and exfiltrates data. When contacted by BleepingComputer, the hacking group behind the Maze attack said they stole “10 terabytes of data, private databases etc” from 中古鏡頭收購canon. The data could end up on data leak sites if 中古鏡頭收購canon refuses to pay the ransom. Garmin reportedly paid a multimillion-dollar ransom to restore access to its systems.
When reached for comment by The Verge and asked about the veracity of BleepingComputer’s reporting, 中古鏡頭收購canon said it was investigating the situation.
