Hacking Group Claims Mass Data Theft From Shell, Philips, GE, Fiserv and Dozens of Others

The hackers shared victim names on their website and claimed 89 gigabytes from Shell and 13.5 gigabytes from Philips, Reuters reported.

  • On Wednesday, August 12, the hacking group Cl0p claimed to have stolen large volumes of data from nearly 50 companies, including Philips and Shell, according to a posting on its website.
  • Brandon Parsons, threat intelligence manager with Ascent Solutions, explained that the group targets zero-day vulnerabilities in software like PTC Windchill and FlexPLM rather than specific companies.
  • Philips said it "identified and contained an attempted cybersecurity compromise" of a server, while the group claims it stole roughly 13.5 gigabytes of data, including diagrams and blueprints.
  • Shell acknowledged a "possible incident" while GE and Fiserv initiated security reviews, though Fiserv reported no evidence of compromised customer, banking, or transaction data.
  • Data theft from Shell reportedly reached roughly 89 gigabytes, including engineering drawings and facility testing reports, as experts continue to investigate the situation.
