ALPHV gang claims it's the attacker that broke into Prudential Financial, LoanDepot

ALPHV/BlackCat is claiming responsibility for recent cybersecurity incidents at Prudential Financial and LoanDepot, alleging continued network access and data exfiltration despite the companies' SEC filings; the group is using double-extortion tactics and seeking buyers for stolen data. The report also highlights ALPHV's survival of a prior takedown, an alleged attack on Trans-Northern Pipelines, and a U.S. reward offer for information leading to leadership identification or arrest.
