Similar Happenings
Merkle Breach Exposes Employee and Client Data
Merkle, a US-based subsidiary of Dentsu, experienced a cyberattack resulting in the theft of sensitive employee and client data. The breach was detected through unusual network activity, prompting an incident response and investigation. The stolen data includes bank details, payroll information, and personal contact details. Merkle has notified affected individuals and law enforcement, and is offering credit monitoring and Dark Web monitoring to impacted employees. The nature of the attack remains unknown, but it may involve data extortion or ransomware. The incident highlights the ongoing threat of data theft and the importance of robust incident response protocols.
Lumma Stealer Activity Declines Following Doxxing of Core Members
Lumma Stealer, a prominent information stealer, has seen a significant drop in activity over the past couple of months. This decline follows the doxxing of five alleged core group members, which exposed personal and operational details. The doxxing campaign, believed to be driven by competitors, has led to a sharp decrease in command-and-control (C&C) infrastructure activity and disrupted the group's communications. The doxxing included sensitive information such as passport numbers, bank account details, and social media profiles. The group's Telegram account was compromised on September 17, 2025, preventing effective communication with customers. As a result, cybercriminals have started seeking alternative information stealers like Vidar and StealC. The disruption has also impacted the pay-per-install (PPI) service Amadey, which was used for Lumma Stealer distribution. The doxxing campaign's consistency and depth suggest insider knowledge or access to compromised accounts and databases.
Ransomware Attacks Continue to Evade Defenses Despite Security Efforts
Ransomware remains a top threat to global organizations, with attackers bypassing defenses despite extensive prevention and detection efforts. Double extortion tactics are prevalent, and some groups focus solely on data theft and extortion. The Picus Security Blue Report 2025 reveals a decline in prevention effectiveness, particularly in data exfiltration, highlighting critical gaps in defenses. Security teams must continuously validate their defenses against both known and emerging ransomware strains to ensure readiness. Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) provides real-time validation of defenses, showing where protections stand or fail. The report underscores the need for ongoing testing and validation to address persistent gaps in malware delivery, detection, data exfiltration, and endpoint protection.
Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office Hit by INC Ransom Ransomware Attack with Data Breach

The attack resulted in a service outage affecting the AG's website, email, and phone systems. The AG office refused to pay the ransom and is currently investigating the incident with other agencies. The impact includes disruptions to court proceedings, though the AG office assures that criminal prosecutions and investigations will not be affected. The extent of data exfiltration, if any, remains unknown. The AG's office has confirmed the use of file-encrypting ransomware and that the attack was carried out by an outsider attempting to extort payment. The AG office has not disclosed any details about the ransomware group responsible. Partial recovery of email and phone services has been achieved, with staff operating through alternate methods. The ransomware gang INC Ransom has claimed responsibility for the attack, alleging the theft of 5.7TB of files and access to an FBI internal network.
