Hyundai Motor Europe hit by Black Basta ransomware attack

Hyundai Motor Europe experienced a Black Basta ransomware attack in early January that the gang claims resulted in the theft of roughly 3 TB of corporate data across multiple departments (legal, HR, sales, accounting, IT, management) and Windows domains, including folders tied to KIA Europe; Hyundai confirmed unauthorized access and is investigating with external cybersecurity and authorities. The report also summarizes Black Basta's history of double-extortion operations, use of QakBot/Cobalt Strike for access, notable previous victims, and its estimated financial gains.
