Pietro Melillo reported on July 10, 2024 that the Meow gang has claimed responsibility for a cyber attack on Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). The group offered access to a confidential HPE database on their Data leak site (DLS) for $199. HPE is a leading technology company that split from Hewlett-Packard Company in 2015. The authenticity of the data breach has not been confirmed by HPE, as they have not released an official statement.
The Meow gang is a relatively new ransomware group that has been targeting high-profile companies since late 2023. They use sophisticated techniques to infiltrate systems and encrypt sensitive data. In addition to HPE, Meow has targeted financial institutions, technology companies, and critical infrastructure. If the attack on HPE is confirmed, it could have serious consequences for the company, including damage to its reputation and potential financial losses.
It is important for companies and cybersecurity professionals to carefully consider the implications of the Meow gang’s claims. Further updates from HPE are needed to fully understand the extent of the incident and the actions they plan to take. As cybersecurity remains a top priority in today’s interconnected world, monitoring and addressing cyber threats is crucial to prevent devastating consequences.
