- Victims include gas giant Cadent, News UK, Euro Garages Group, Johnson Matthey, Ardagh Metal, and others across critical infrastructure sectors like gas and utilities in the UK.
- SAP issued patches on April 24 and May 13, 2025, and experts urge organisations to update software promptly to mitigate extensive ongoing exploitation.
