Crimson Collective targets multiple organizations including Red Hat and Brightspeed for data theft and extortion

The Crimson Collective has been targeting various organizations, including Red Hat and Brightspeed, for data theft and extortion. The group claims to have breached Red Hat's private GitLab repositories, stealing nearly 570GB of data across 28,000 internal projects, including 800 Customer Engagement Reports (CERs) containing sensitive information about customer networks and platforms. The breach occurred approximately two weeks prior to the announcement. The hackers claim to have accessed downstream customer infrastructure using authentication tokens and other private information found in the stolen data. The affected organizations span various sectors, including finance, healthcare, government, and telecommunications. Red Hat has initiated remediation steps and stated that the security issue does not impact its other services or products. The hackers published a complete directory listing of the allegedly stolen GitLab repositories and a list of CERs from 2020 through 2025 on Telegram. The Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) has issued an advisory stating there is a high risk to Belgian organizations that use Red Hat Consulting services. The CCB also warns of potential supply chain impact if service providers or IT partners worked with Red Hat Consulting. The CCB advises organizations to rotate all tokens, keys, and credentials shared with Red Hat or used in any Red Hat integrations, and to contact third-party IT providers to assess potential exposure. The ShinyHunters gang has now joined the extortion attempts against Red Hat, partnering with the Crimson Collective. ShinyHunters has released samples of stolen CERs on their data leak site and has set an October 10th deadline for Red Hat to negotiate a ransom demand to prevent the public leak of stolen data. The breach is part of a series of supply chain threats involving compromised code repositories. In May 2024, threat actors exploited a critical vulnerability (CVE-2023-7028) to take over GitLab accounts. GitLab disclosed and patched two similar vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-5655 and CVE-2024-6385) that jeopardized customers' CI/CD pipelines. Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. has confirmed that information of approximately 21,000 customers has been compromised due to the Red Hat breach. The leaked data includes full names, physical addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and customer data used in sales operations. Financial information such as credit card details was not exposed in the breach. Nissan noted that the compromised Red Hat environment does not store any other data beyond what was confirmed as impacted. Nissan has no evidence that the leaked information has been misused. This is the second cybersecurity incident for Nissan Japan this year, following a Qilin ransomware attack in late August that hit its design subsidiary Creative Box Inc. (CBI). The Crimson Collective has also claimed responsibility for a breach at Brightspeed, an ISP operating across 20 US states. The group claims to have obtained PII on over one million customers and disrupted their connectivity. The PII includes account master records, address coordinates, payment history, payment methods, and appointment/order records. The group posted samples of the data on Telegram and claimed to have disconnected users' home internet. Jacob Krell from Suzu Labs commented on the broader implications of such breaches, noting their societal and national security impact.
